2018 Map of Rohrich Dam

About this map

Clear Creek winds through the high prairie of Emmons County, defining a landscape of rolling drainage patterns and small-scale water management. This part of North Dakota is marked by several significant burial sites that speak to the area’s pioneer genealogy, including Loebs Baptist Cemetery in the north and Omio Cemetery centrally located among the section lines. The map captures the infrastructure of the local ranching and farming economy through water features like Springwater Dam and Rohrich Dam. A rigid grid of section roads, such as 72nd St SE and 17th Ave SE, organizes the terrain into the classic township and range system, providing a precise spatial record of land ownership and rural development in the late 2010s.
