1978 Map of Zeeland NW

About this map

The state line between North Dakota and South Dakota bisects this late-1970s landscape, marking a transition between the rural expanses of Emmons, McIntosh, and Campbell counties. The upper right corner is defined by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which cuts a sharp diagonal path through the northern plains. This area is characterized by scattered rural landmarks that serve as vital links to local family history, including the Baptist Cem in the southwest and two separate locations labeled Freidens Cem. These small burial grounds and the rail corridor represent the primary human imprints on a terrain otherwise defined by rolling township and range boundaries.
