About this map

Chapelle Lake and its surrounding prairie landscape are documented here in the early 1970s, revealing a region defined by scattered water features and institutional landmarks. The map traces the winding course of Chapelle Creek as it moves through the townships of Holabird, Highmore, and Eagle. A notable human-interest feature is the Chapelle Sch, a point of focus for local genealogy and education history in this part of Hyde County.

A significant historical marker is the Old Indian Treaty Boundary that cuts across the southern portion of the sheet, providing a spatial record of 19th-century land divisions. The presence of a Flowing Well and several Gravel Pits points to the local reliance on groundwater and the extraction of materials for road infrastructure, while the Picnic Area near the lake indicates the site's role as a community recreational spot.
