1981 Map of Alkali Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and seasonal wetlands define this landscape on the border of McLean and Sheridan Counties during the early 1980s. The area is characterized by vast National Waterfowl Production Area designations, reflecting a terrain dominated by water bodies such as Alkali Lake and Nelson Lake. Human presence is sparse but deeply rooted in the rural townships of Byersville, Medicine Hill, and Holmes. Local history is anchored by the Immanuel Cem and Tabor Cem, alongside a central Townhall. A small Landing Strip north of Harchenko Lake provides a glimpse into the logistical needs of these remote agricultural and conservation lands, where fence and field lines intersect the natural contours of the northern plains.
