2022 Map of Lake Allie

About this map

Lake Allie and Preston Lake form the central hydrological focus of this Renville County landscape, where the prairie's natural drainage has been heavily modified for agriculture. The small settlement of Lakeside sits at the junction of Co Hwy 11 and Co Hwy 24, positioned between the larger lakes and the northern Hodgson Lake. This 2022 survey documents a complex system of water management, including Judicial Ditch Number One and County Ditch Number One Hundred Fourteen, which channel runoff through the section lines. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies key burial sites such as Evergreen Cem and Preston Lake Cem. The terrain is characterized by these intermittent wetlands and named bodies like Boon Lake and Phare Lake, all set within the rigid township and range grid of T115N and T116N.
