Hi Don, I don't know if this will help but you can use the township maps from the Ward County Archives page: http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Eusgenweb/nd/ward/ward.htm to locate the townships. Then, and I really hesitate to get into this because it is complicated and I haven't used it for several years but here goes. If you have the geographical coordinates from the USGS they can be converted from degrees, minutes, seconds to degrees and tenths and plugged into the Census Bureau Tiger Map Server Gazatteer. Here is the general URL for the Tiger Map Browser: http://tiger.census.gov/cgi-bin/mapbrowse-tbl?. Using the converted USGS coordinates for any location you can create a map with county, state and US highway numbers pinpointing cemeteries, towns or whatever for a drive to. For examples go here: http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Endpembin/cemdex.htm. Conversion from degrees, minutes, seconds is degrees.min/60+sec/3600. Joy, if I screwed this up please step in <G>.
