2017 Map of Flight Lake

About this map

Flight Lake sits at the center of this rural prairie landscape in Potter County, showing a region defined by its wide section-line road grid and seasonal wetlands. The map documents a sparsely populated agricultural area north of Gettysburg, where the township boundaries of t120n r75w and t121n r76w meet. Local history is anchored by the presence of Prairie Grove Cem and Pembroke Cem, which serve as small landmarks among the expansive fields. The road network, including Co Rd 155 and Co Rd 819, follows the rigid Public Land Survey System, illustrating how modern transportation still adheres to the nineteenth-century division of the South Dakota plains. To the south, Green Lake provides another significant hydrographic feature in a territory primarily occupied by farming and ranching operations.
