1978 Map of Flat Lake

About this map

The Missouri Slope region of Campbell County is defined here by a series of glacial depressions and waterfowl management zones. Scattered throughout the section lines are the final resting places of early settlers, including Friedenstahl Cem and Sutley Cem, which serve as primary markers of the area's rural genealogy. The hydrology of the landscape is dominated by Flat Lake, East Flat Lake, and the nearby Lindemann Lakes, many of which are contained within the National Waterfowl Production Area. A notable remnant of earlier infrastructure is the Old Railroad Grade cutting diagonally through the western sections, indicating a transportation corridor that once supported the local agricultural economy. In the southwest corner, the Salt Lake State Public Shooting Area points to the continued significance of this terrain for conservation and seasonal recreation.
