About this map

St Michaels Ch stands as a focal point in this 1970s landscape where the borders of Emmons, Logan, and McIntosh counties meet. The area is defined by its rural character and shifting terrain, notably within the protected bounds of the Flickertail National Wildlife Refuge. Beaver Creek winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle, creating a distinct hydrological pattern amidst the numerous Gravel Pits and Wells that suggest local resource extraction during this era.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the St Joseph Cem near the Logan County line, providing a specific point of reference for family research in this sparsely populated region. The presence of the Wood landform and various scattered landmarks offer a clear picture of the land-use patterns in central North Dakota before later modern developments altered the agricultural and conservation landscape.
