2018 Map of Veblen NE

About this map

Lake Tewaukon dominates the northern landscape of this prairie borderland, where the state line divides the Dakotas. The terrain is defined by a complex network of glacial drainage, with La Belle Cr and Shortfoot Cr meandering through sections of t129n r53w and surrounding townships. This 2018 survey reveals a rural landscape structured by a precise grid of section lines and gravel roads, including Co Rd 5 and 98th St SE. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several significant burial sites that speak to the area's early settlement patterns, such as Mountainhead - Labelle Cem near Bessler Creek, as well as Bergen Cem and Palestine Cem further east. These sites, often the only remaining markers of former gathering places, sit within a landscape that continues to follow the original Public Land Survey System divisions.
