2019 Map of Dead Coon Lake

About this map

The Coteau des Prairies plateau defines this agricultural landscape where the Lincoln and Lyon County line divides a terrain of prairie potholes and glacial lakes. The city of Tyler sits in the southwestern corner, anchored by Saint Dionysius Cem and Hope Cem, marking the local history of settlement on this high ground. Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by extensive drainage systems like Judicial Ditch Number Thirtyone and County Ditch Number Fourteen that channel water toward the Redwood River. These engineered waterways contrast with natural features like Dead Coon Lake and Wood Lake, which are accompanied by the small Mission Cem and Wood Lake Cem in the northeastern section of the map.
