2012 Map of Turkey Ridge

About this map

Turkey Ridge rises above the agricultural grid of Turner County in this 2012 survey, defining the high ground between local drainage basins. The landscape is marked by a precise network of section-line roads, including 290th St and 444th Ave, which connect isolated farmsteads and small crossroads like Pearsons Corner. For those researching family history in the area, the map identifies several distinct burial sites such as Bang Cem, Carlson Cem, Elim Cem, and Ogstad Cem. The hydrologic patterns are shaped by several winding watercourses, notably Turkey Cr and Clay Cr, which cut through the prairie towards Spring Valley. These features reveal a rural community deeply tied to the land and its original survey boundaries.
