2024 Map of Coteau

About this map

Coteau and the surrounding prairie of Burke County appear here as a landscape defined by both modern conservation and deep-rooted agricultural settlement. The topography is marked by numerous glacial potholes and wetlands, including the protected Burke County Waterfowl Production Area, which provides critical habitat among the section lines. Water moves through the terrain via Stony Creek and the meandering Shockley Slough, carving gentle depressions into the high plains. For those tracing local heritage, the Bethlehem Lutheran Cem stands as a focal point in the rural township, situated north of the Coteau townsite. Near the eastern edge, the influence of the county seat is visible at the Bowbells Municipal Airport and the outskirts of Bowbells. A rigid grid of county roads, such as Co Rd 8 and Co Rd 15, anchors the region's ranching and farming operations.
