About this map

Lake Allie and Preston Lake define the central landscape of this Renville County region, serving as the primary anchors for a rural community structured by the Public Land Survey System. The area displays a sophisticated hydraulic network where natural water bodies are integrated with engineered channels like Judicial Ditch Number One and Judicial Ditch Number Fifteen, reflecting a long-term commitment to agricultural land management. This 2016 survey documents the enduring settlement patterns around Lakeside and the agricultural grid that has persisted since the 19th century.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by two significant burial sites: Evergreen Cem in the northwest and Preston Lake Cem situated south of its namesake lake. These cemeteries, alongside smaller water features such as Hodgson Lake, Phare Lake, and the northern reaches of Boon Lake, highlight the intersection of natural topography and pioneer-era heritage. The map provides a detailed view of the secondary road network, including Co Hwy 24 and numerous township roads that provide access to these remote farmsteads and lakefront properties.
