2013 Map of Big Stone Lake East

About this map

Big Stone Lake serves as the focal point for this landscape along the border of Minnesota and South Dakota, where the Minnesota River flows southeast through a well-defined valley. The region is characterized by a high density of rural burial grounds, including Elim Cem, Bailey Cem, W Saint Paul Cem, Lakeside Cem, and Mills Cem, suggesting a long-established network of small communities and church congregations. Transportation infrastructure centers on the transition from the plateau down to the water, with MN-7 and SD-109 tracing the river's path. Local aviation and navigation are represented by Shannon Field Airport and distinctive shoreline landmarks like Point Welcome and Lou Point. The grid of county highways and local avenues, such as Co HWY-7 and 480th Ave, illustrates the organized agricultural partition of the surrounding prairie lands.
