2011 Map of Sheldon NE

About this map

Leonard stands at the southeastern edge of this Cass County landscape, anchoring a rural grid of township roads that cross the North Dakota prairie. The Maple River meanders sharply through the northern portion of the quadrangle, its winding course providing a stark contrast to the rigid geometry of the surrounding section lines like 150th Ave SE and 48th St SE. For those researching local family history, the map identifies two significant burial sites: the Watson Cemetery situated near the riverbanks and the Leonard Cemetery located just north of the town site. Aviation and local infrastructure are represented by the Leonard Municipal Airport, while the extensive network of secondary roads, including 53rd St SE and 148th Ave SE, illustrates the organized agricultural settlement patterns typical of the region.
