About this map

Saint Michaels Cem sits near the heart of this borderland landscape, a quiet marker of the community's heritage in northern Daniels County. The terrain is defined by the East Fork Poplar River and its tributary Outlet Cr, which carve through the plains just south of the international boundary between the United States of America and Canada. The naming of local thoroughfares like Ukrainian Rd, Hudyma Rd, and Mastenec Rd suggests the specific ancestral roots of the families who settled this high prairie. Toward the northeast corner, the Scobey Border Station (East Poplar International) Airport marks the critical point of transit across the border. Historically, the area supported resource extraction as evidenced by Coal Mine Rd, while other local routes such as Danelson Rd and Marlenee Rd further document the agricultural and familial layout of the region in the early twenty-first century.
