2022 Map of Artichoke Lake

About this map

Artichoke Lake and Long Lake dominate this prairie landscape in Big Stone County, where a dense network of glacial wetlands and depressions defines the local geography. The map reveals a strictly organized section-line road grid, including Co Hwy 14 and 600th Ave, which serves the agricultural lands surrounding the lakes. Small, localized landmarks provide vital clues for family historians, such as the Johnson Family Cem located near the eastern shore of Artichoke Lake and the Akron Cem situated further south along 440th St. This area, organized under townships such as t122n r44w, maintains a traditional rural character where the natural hydrology of the basin continues to dictate the placement of transportation routes and property boundaries.
