2015 Map of Wecota

About this map

Wecota anchors this rural landscape at the edge of the Edmunds Co and Faulk Co line, representing a classic Northern Plains grid-iron settlement pattern. The terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands and seasonal water bodies, most notably Lake Cresbard in the eastern reaches. This 2015 study by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the enduring agricultural structure of the region, where a dense network of numbered section roads like 152nd St and 354th Ave provides access to vast tracts of farmland. The Immanuel Cem serves as a quiet landmark for local genealogists, situated centrally amidst the township divisions of T120N R68W and T120N R69W. The map reflects a landscape where water and road networks dictate the placement of early prairie outposts.
