About this map

Tewaukon National Wildlife Refuge dominates the northern landscape of this prairie terrain, where the waters of Lake Tewaukon and Quaint Slough serve as critical landmarks. This modern survey illustrates the enduring agricultural grid of the Dakota borderlands, bisected by the state line between Sargent County, North Dakota, and Marshall County, South Dakota. The map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting several distinct burial grounds that speak to the area's pioneer settlement history, including the Bergen Cem, Palestine Cem, and the uniquely named Mountainhead - LaBelle Cem. The meandering paths of La Belle Creek and Shortfoot Creek cut across the section lines, revealing the natural drainage patterns that have influenced land use and homestead placement for generations.
