2017 Map of Schlecht-Weixel Dam

About this map

German Cem and Swede Township Cem stand as markers of the cultural heritage in this portion of LaMoure County, North Dakota. The landscape is characterized by the prairie pothole region's distinctive topography, featuring numerous small wetlands and basins across the townships of T135N and T134N. Water management is central to the area, anchored by the Schlecht-Weixel Dam and the meandering path of Maple Cr as it flows through the eastern sections. A grid of section-line roads, including Co Rd 66 and Co Rd 34, provides access to this agricultural landscape, reflecting the systematic land division of the Great Plains. The proximity of these family and community landmarks offers a detailed view of the rural settlement patterns that persisted into the twenty-first century.
