About this map

Bohemian Cemetery and Thompson Cemetery anchor the southern landscape of this prairie terrain along the border of North and South Dakota. The survey reveals a region defined by a grid of rural section roads, including County Rd 21 and County Rd 22, which connect isolated homesteads and agricultural tracts. The most prominent natural feature is the Big Slough, a winding wetland complex that meanders through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The placement of the cemeteries along 102nd St suggests an early focus of community life in this high-plains farming district. The landscape is characterized by numerous small, scattered wetlands and depressions typical of the glacial till plains found in the Lake Traverse District.
