About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and marshy wetlands define this section of the Great Plains where Wells, Kidder, and Stutsman counties meet. The landscape is structured by a strictly rectilinear grid of local roads, such as 50th Ave SE and 11th St SE, which facilitate the region's agricultural production. For genealogists and local historians, two distinct burial sites serve as primary landmarks in this sparsely populated area: the New Home Seventh - Day Adventist Cem and the New Home Cem further south. These sites, situated near Co Hwy 69, reflect the early settlement patterns and religious heritage of the farming communities that established themselves on this section of the Missouri Coteau. The map provides a precise record of the numerous unnamed water bodies that dominate the township sections, illustrating the intricate hydrology of central North Dakota.
