About this map

The agricultural landscape of Lewis County unfolds across this 2012 survey, anchored by the town of La Belle at the intersection of Main St and 116th Ave. Smaller settlements and historical points of interest like Jeddo and Salem are connected by a grid of county roads, showing the enduring rural structure of the region. This geography is defined by a dendritic network of waterways, including Troublesome Creek and its many tributaries, which have shaped the local topography and placement of landmarks.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several important sites, including Woodland School, Washburn Cemetery, and Glover Cemetery. The map also details more modern developments in land use and water management, featuring several significant reservoirs such as Henry Sever Lake, New La Belle Lake, and Laura M Baker Lake. The inclusion of Sharpe Farms Airport in the southeast corner further illustrates the integration of private infrastructure into this traditional farming community.
