About this map

Glacial lakes and modern infrastructure define the western outskirts of Alexandria in this detailed 2010 survey. The landscape is a intricate network of water bodies, including the sprawling Lake Ida, Lake Darling, and Lake Latoka, many of which are managed by local water control structures like the Ida Lake Dam and Brophy Lake Dam. The presence of several prominent points such as Stony Point and Pilgrim Point along the shorelines indicates the area's importance for local recreation and residential development.

Genealogists can find significant local history in the cluster of cemeteries including Saint Johns Cemetery and Saint Lukes Cemetery near Garfield, as well as the Kinkaid Cemetery and Saint Marys Cemetery closer to the county seat. Cultural and community hubs are well-marked, from the Douglas County Fairgrounds and Viking Speedway to the Arrowwood-Radisson Golf Course. The map also captures the route of the Central Lakes Trl, highlighting the repurposing of transportation corridors for modern use.
