2018 Map of Weisser Dam East

About this map

Saint James Lutheran Cem and Friedens Lutheran Cem anchor the rolling agricultural terrain of this McIntosh County landscape. The map reveals a strictly organized grid of rural roads, including 30th Ave SE and 89th St SE, which facilitate movement between scattered homesteads and communal burial grounds. Small-scale water management and drainage are central to the area's geography, evidenced by the Weisser Dam and the meandering path of the S Br Beaver Cr. These features, along with the New Kassel E and R Cem, provide essential landmarks for genealogists tracing German-Russian settlement patterns in the Dakotas. The land remains largely divided by the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries like t132n r73w and t131n r73w clearly defining the territory.
