2020 Map of Omemee

About this map

Omemee and the surrounding agricultural lands of Bottineau County are defined by a grid of section-line roads and the scattered remains of early North Dakota rail-side settlements. This landscape in the 2020s preserves the footprint of several small communities, most notably Belmar and Tasco, alongside their respective local landmarks. The Omemee Cem and Tasco Cem serve as critical points of reference for genealogists tracing families from this corner of the prairie. The natural geography is characterized by low-lying wetlands and seasonal watercourses, including the Belmar Slough and the winding paths of Miller Cr and Willow Cr. These features, alongside the meticulous survey of townships like T160N R75W, reveal the enduring patterns of rural land division and drainage that have shaped life in the region for over a century.
