About this map

Glacial lakes and wetlands dominate this 2016 survey of Douglas County, revealing the complex water systems west of Alexandria. The landscape is defined by large bodies of water like Lake Ida and Lake Latoka, which are separated by narrow peninsulas such as Breezy Point and Pilgrim Point. In the northwestern corner, the village of Garfield sits at the intersection of local routes near Saint Johns Cem, while the eastern portion of the map shows the suburban expansion of Alexandria toward Lake Henry and Lake Winona.

Family and community history is preserved in several small burial grounds across the rural townships, including Saint Lukes Cem and Lake Charley Cem. The detailed road network, from Co Rd 82 NW to local residential streets like Sugar Sand Ln NW, illustrates the transition from traditional farming tracts to lakeside residential development. The map also captures numerous smaller water bodies such as Bjork Lake and Lake Cowdrey, which contribute to the region's distinctive hydrography.
