2014 Map of New Effington NE

About this map

North Dakota and South Dakota meet along a long-established border line in this 2014 survey, which also documents the meeting of Richland and Roberts counties. The landscape is defined by the wandering course of Big Slough, which cuts through a grid of rural section roads. For genealogists and local historians, this map is a significant record of rural burial sites, including Old Brandvold Cem and Saint Nicholaus Cem. The presence of Lakeview Cem and Tyson Cem further emphasizes the deep-rooted settlement history of this agricultural frontier. Interstate 81 bisects the terrain, providing a modern transport artery through a region still characterized by its low-lying wetlands and traditional township divisions.
