2012 Map of Lake City

About this map

Roy Lake and its surrounding glacial prairie landscape dominate this 2012 survey of northeastern South Dakota. The topography is defined by a dense network of water bodies, including Cottonwood Lake, Long Lake, and Bullhead Lake, separated by subtle elevations like Parsons Pass. The rural character of Marshall County is preserved in the grid of section roads, such as Co Hwy 12 and Roy Lake Ave, which navigate the wetlands. Local history is anchored near the shoreline of Long Lake by the Lake City Cemetery and Saint Joseph Cemetery. The map captures a landscape where water and land are intimately connected, from the large expanse of Roy Lake to smaller features like Chokecherry Island Slough and East Slough, illustrating the unique hydrology of the Coteau des Prairies region.
