About this map

Saint Michaels Catholic Cem and Saint Joseph Cem stand as significant genealogical landmarks in this section of the Northern Plains, located at the boundary of Emmons and Logan counties. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and drainage of Long Lake Creek in the north and Beaver Creek in the southeast. This contemporary survey reveals a highly organized township-and-range grid, where local travel is facilitated by a network of numbered section roads such as 76th St SE and 24th Ave SE. The intersection of these routes and the naming of local paths like Hulm Ln indicate the long-standing agricultural divisions of the region, providing a clear view of how land ownership and rural infrastructure remain structured around established section lines.
