2014 Map of Solberg Butte

About this map

Swedish Cem stands as a quiet reminder of the Scandinavian settlers who moved into the open plains of Burleigh County. Located along 136th Ave NE, this small burial ground is the primary historic marker in an area defined by a strict grid of section roads and the winding path of W Br Apple Cr. The terrain is characterized by the prominent elevation of Solberg Butte in the western section, rising above the surrounding prairie. This 2014 survey documents the enduring agricultural layout of the region, where north-south corridors like 119th St NE and east-west routes such as 123rd Ave NE organize the landscape into large-scale farming tracts. The map illustrates a rural landscape that has remained remarkably consistent in its spatial organization since the early days of settlement.
