2016 Map of Big Stone Lake West

About this map

Big Stone Lake carves a deep valley through this borderland region, where the state line divides Roberts Co, South Dakota, from Big Stone Co, Minnesota. The landscape is defined by its recreation-focused shoreline settlements, including Madsen Beach, Linden Beach, and Shady Beach. In the settlement of Foster, the historic Lakeside Cem overlooks the water near Salmonson Point. This 2016 survey illustrates the modern road network serving these lakeside communities, with local routes like Trails End Rd and Ridgeview Rd winding through the wooded terrain of Bonanza Grove. To the north, the upland plateau remains largely agricultural, anchored by the Holden Cem and the small cluster at Yankeetown. The map provides a precise record of the shoreline geometry as Hartford Beach Cr feeds into the main lake, supporting South Dakota Park and Hartford Beach recreation areas.
