2012 Map of Drywood Lakes

About this map

Drywood Lakes and a complex network of glacial potholes dominate this Roberts County landscape, illustrating the water-rich geography of the Coteau des Prairies. The 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a rural infrastructure of section-line roads, including Co Hwy 1 and numerous numbered avenues and streets that grid the prairie. The presence of the Bethel Lutheran Cem near the eastern edge provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in the Old Agency District. Notable water bodies such as Lake Martha, Lake Whipple, and Tahana Lake are interspersed with drainage features like Goodwill Cr and Chekepa Cr, reflecting the natural drainage patterns of this high-plateau region. This map serves as a clear record of the area's rural layout and natural hydrography at the start of the 2010s.
