2017 Map of Norbeck

About this map

Millard and Norbeck anchor this survey of the agricultural interior of Faulk County. The landscape is defined by the Public Land Survey System, with a rigid grid of section lines and gravel roads such as 152nd St and 350th Ave crossing the prairie. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Millard Cem sits near the intersection of Co Rd 9 and Co Rd 4, serving as a vital landmark for genealogists and local historians tracing families in this rural township. Water is a scarce but defining element in this terrain, represented by the ephemeral Dry Lake and the small basin of Hanak Lake near the northern border with Edmunds County. The presence of Norbeck St within the small settlement of Norbeck reflects the quiet, established nature of these farming communities in the early 21st century.
