About this map

Union Cem stands as a quiet focal point in this portion of Burleigh County, situated near the intersection of 227th Ave NE and 223rd St NE. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and drainage of the E Br Apple Cr, which winds through the northeastern quadrant. This 2014 survey reveals a highly organized section-line road network, including long stretches of 197th St NE and 249th St NE, characteristic of the northern Great Plains' agrarian development.

The terrain reflects the glacial history of the region, with numerous depressions and contour shifts that dictate the placement of rural homesteads and transport corridors like 201st Ave NE. While largely rural and focused on open acreage, the preservation of the cemetery and the naming of small tributaries provide essential landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracing the evolution of North Dakota's prairie settlements during the early 21st century.
