About this map

The Coteau des Prairies highland plateau defines the landscape of this Lincoln County region, where glacial landforms create a complex network of small lakes and drainage patterns. The community of Arco sits along the southern shore of Lake Stay, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural prairie. To the northwest, the town of Ivanhoe and the settlement of Wilno anchor the local road network, which follows a rigid section-line grid typical of the American Midwest.

Water is a central theme of the geography here, with the headwaters of the Yellow Medicine River and its South Br Yellow Medicine River winding through the terrain. Notable local landmarks include the Icelandic Cem and Hawks Nest Lake, along with the Mulder Field Inc Airport. This survey captures the rural character of the area in the early 21st century, documenting the precise locations of farmsteads and township roads like 481st Ave and T-155.
