About this map

The Roberts County plains of the Lake Traverse District are defined by a regular grid of section lines and isolated burial sites in this early 21st-century survey. The landscape is primarily agrarian, punctuated by several quiet landmarks of local genealogy including Saint Nicholaus Cemetery and the Old Brandvold Cemetery. Modern transportation corridors cut through the traditional township layout, with Interstate 29 running north-south alongside County Rd 1 and County Rd 22 providing east-west access. Other significant historical markers for family researchers include Tyson Cemetery in the northwest and Lakeview Cemetery further south. The map reflects a rural environment where the placement of these cemeteries often suggests the locations of former pioneer church congregations or early settlement nodes that predate the modern interstate system.
