About this map

The prairie landscape of the South Dakota-North Dakota border area is documented here at the start of the 2010s, defined by its rigid section-line road grid and scattered wetlands. Family and community history is anchored by the presence of Freidens Cemetery and the Baptist Cemetery, which serve as primary landmarks in an otherwise open agricultural expanse. The area's transport network relies on a transition between North Dakota's numbered system, such as 98th St SE, and South Dakota's local routes like 102nd St and 311th Ave. This survey captures the rural character of the region, where drainage patterns and small seasonal ponds break the geometric precision of the township and range survey lines.
