About this map

Beaver Lake sits in the northeast corner of this remote Burke County landscape, serving as the primary natural landmark in a region defined by its meticulous section-line road network. The terrain is characterized by numerous small potholes and depressions typical of the Missouri Coteau, where drainage is disorganized and many small, unnamed seasonal wetlands dot the prairie.

Transportation throughout this rural area relies on a strict grid of county and township roads, including Cr-4 and Cr-8, which facilitate movement between the scattered agricultural properties. The intersection of routes like 92nd Ave NW and 97th St NW illustrates the late-twentieth-century rural development pattern, where the landscape is organized for large-scale farming while preserving the natural contours of the glaciated plains.
