2017 Map of Zeeland NW

About this map

The borderlands of Campbell County, South Dakota, and Emmons County, North Dakota, are defined here by a precise grid of rural section lines and section roads. This landscape represents the high plains agricultural tradition, where movement is dictated by a network of local routes like Zeeland Rd and 315th Ave. The map documents a sparsely populated region where social and community life was anchored by local institutions, evidenced by the presence of both the Freidens Cem and the Baptist Cem. These sites, along with the clearly marked township and range designations like t129n r74w and t128n r75w, provide a foundational framework for genealogists and local historians tracing land ownership and family heritage in this section of the Great Plains.
