2011 Map of Veblen NE

About this map

Lake Tewaukon anchors the northern reaches of this borderland landscape where North Dakota and South Dakota meet. The terrain is defined by a grid of rural sections drained by the winding courses of LaBelle Creek and Shortfoot Creek. This 2011 survey reflects the enduring agricultural character of the prairie, showing a sparse network of farmsteads connected by graded roads like County Hwy-12. For those researching local family history, the Bergen Cemetery stands as a primary landmark in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The map captures a moment of modern stillness in the Great Plains, where the drainage patterns of the creeks still dictate the placement of roads and the boundaries of fields as they have for generations.
