2011 Map of McLeod

About this map

McLeod serves as the primary focal point of this Sheyenne Township survey, situated in the southeast quadrant where local routes like 70th St SE and 149th Ave SE converge. The landscape is defined by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, which dictates the placement of rural infrastructure and agricultural boundaries. To the north, the Free Lutheran Cemetery remains a significant genealogical landmark, positioned along 64th St SE amidst a network of section-line roads such as 147th Ave SE. The geography is characterized by numerous small depressions and drainage patterns that punctuate the prairie, reflecting the glacial history of Richland County. This document preserves the late-twentieth-century rural footprint of the area before modern digital mapping became the standard, capturing the exact spatial relationship between isolated farmsteads and the community of McLeod.
