2012 Map of Archer Hill

About this map

White Lake and the surrounding prairie of Aurora County dominate this early 21st-century landscape, where a precise grid of rural roads like 375th Ave and 246th St defines the agricultural layout. The topographic relief is punctuated by the eponymous Archer Hill, a distinct elevation rising above the many small wetlands and depressions characteristic of this region. Water management is evident throughout the quadrangle, from the northern W Br Firesteel Cr to the southeastern Scott Lake and the drainage patterns of Wilkie Slough. A small Dam on the western edge of White Lake highlights local water control efforts in a territory where seasonal water levels significantly influence the terrain and land use.
