About this map

Big Round Lake dominates the central landscape of this Polk County region, serving as a focal point for a dense network of glacial water bodies and seasonal wetlands. Near its eastern shore, the Johnstown Cemetery provides a significant touchstone for local genealogy, situated at the junction of Round Lake RD and 60th ST. The map documents a transition between organized agricultural grids and the wandering course of the Straight River, which connects several smaller basins including Depot Lake and Dahl Lake.

A notable modern feature of the terrain is the Ice Age Trl, which meanders past Little Pine Lake and Pine Lake, marking the path of the continental glacier. The northern reaches are defined by the McKenzie Creek drainage and the winding Clam River, while the southern border features the expansive Big Blake Lake. This 2010 survey reflects the established rural character of the area, where gravel roads and local lanes provide access to dozens of named lakes like Sedge Lake and Rhinstad Lake.
