2011 Map of Ehler Lake

About this map

Cedar Creek meanders across the northern reaches of this Adams County landscape, defining a terrain shaped by the slow drainages of the Missouri Plateau. This 2011 survey documents a quiet rural expanse where water is the primary landmark, from the central basin of Ehler Lake to the branching paths of Goose Creek and Chanta Peta Creek. The map provides specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians, most notably the Richland Cemetery located in the northeast corner near the Richland County line. Settlement patterns here are tied to the grid of local roads, such as 14th Ave NW and 5th St NW, which connect isolated homesteads and private aviation sites. The inclusion of the Kinsvater Landing Strip and Olson Airfield highlights the reliance on small-scale air travel in these sprawling prairie reaches, where traditional townsites are absent and the economy remains firmly rooted in the surrounding land.
