About this map

Big Pembina Cemetery sits at the heart of this rural landscape in Cavalier County, serving as a primary landmark for local genealogical research. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Pembina River in the northeast and the Little South Pembina River as it meanders through the southern half of the quadrangle. A strict section-line road grid, including County Hwy 55, partitions the prairie into expansive agricultural blocks. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a sparsely populated corner of North Dakota where the natural hydrology of the Pembina river system remains the dominant geographic feature amidst the modern road network.
