1974 Map of Grubb Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Leaf Mountain and the Foothill terrain dominate the northern reaches of this Burke County landscape, where the prairie is defined by a dense network of glacial potholes and small lakes. This mid-1970s survey captures the rural character of Cleary and Colville townships, showing a region where land use is dictated by the irregular topography of the Missouri Coteau. The distribution of water bodies like Grubb Lake, Muskie Lake, and Smishek Lake illustrates the natural drainage patterns of this upland area. Evidence of agricultural infrastructure and regional development is sparse but specific, noted by features such as a Storage Bin and a Radio Tower. The inclusion of a Drill Hole reflects the period's geological exploration, while the presence of Fish Lake and Harms Lake highlights the importance of these perennial water sources in an otherwise high-elevation prairie environment.
