About this map

Goose River and its various tributaries, including Beaver Cr and the Middle Br Goose River, carve a winding path through this section of Steele County. The landscape is defined by the section-line road grid typical of the Red River Valley hinterlands, punctuated by scattered private airstrips like the Fugleberg Farm Airport. This rural area is anchored by several long-standing community landmarks, particularly a high density of small burial grounds that speak to the early settlement history of the region. Genealogists can trace the footprint of local families through sites like Berg Graveyard Cem, Stavens Memorial Cem, and Severson Cem. In the southern portion of the sheet, the Bang Church Cem serves as a prominent point of interest, reflecting the religious and social centers that historically unified these dispersed farming townships.
