About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and marshy wetlands define this section of Nelson County, where the landscape is organized by the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System. The township lines of t150n r58w and surrounding ranges divide a territory marked by numerous small, unnamed water bodies and a sparse network of county roads like Co Rd 5. Genealogical interest is concentrated at several rural burial sites that reflect the area's denominational history, including Zion Lutheran Free Church Cem and Our Savior's Church Cem. In the southeastern corner, Hillesland Lake stands as the primary named aquatic feature. The map illustrates a contemporary rural environment where agriculture and drainage patterns dictate the placement of section-line roads such as 31st St NE and 117th Ave NE.
