About this map

Omemee and the surrounding prairie of Bottineau County are defined by a regular grid of section lines and gravel roads, a landscape shaped by the Public Land Survey System. This modern survey reflects the enduring layout of rural North Dakota, where the small settlements of Belmar and Tasco sit amidst an expansive network of wetlands and sloughs. The presence of Omemee Cem and Tasco Cem provides a tangible link to the early families who homesteaded this region.

Conservation efforts are prominent across the terrain, notably within the Bottineau County Waterfowl Production Area, which preserves the critical pothole habitats of the northern plains. Waterways like Willow Creek and Miller Creek meander across the southern townships, while Belmar Slough highlights the internal drainage patterns typical of this glacial till plain. The map documents the intersection of agricultural utility and environmental preservation in the 21st century.
