About this map

Springwater Lake National Wildlife Refuge anchors the western portion of this Emmons County landscape, where the prairie begins to break into the drainage of Clear Creek. The map documents a rural environment defined by sectional agricultural plots and a scattering of essential community landmarks. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the placement of small local burial grounds, including Bethlehem Cem in the northwest and Omio Cem further south.

The presence of several Well sites and a Gravel Pit reflects the practical land use and resource extraction supporting the local township. Near the southeastern corner, the landscape transitions toward Rohrich Dam and the associated Martins Cem, illustrating the sparse but deliberate distribution of infrastructure and memory across this North Dakota plains territory during the late twentieth century.
