About this map

Lake City serves as the primary hub of this glaciated landscape, situated on the prominent Coteau des Prairies plateau. This region is defined by a dense concentration of wetlands and water bodies, ranging from the expansive Roy Lake to smaller basins like Lost Lake and the Stink Lakes. The terrain reflects the unique geology of the Coteau, where high-altitude depressions created a complex network of sloughs and lakes such as Chokecherry Island Slough and East Slough.

Genealogists will find the Saint Joseph Cem and the Lake City Cem recorded near the town center, providing vital connection points for local family histories. Transport in this rural area follows a grid-based system of roads like Co HWY 12, while the topography is punctuated by natural landmarks like Parsons Pass. The map provides a detailed view of the interaction between these remote settlements and the surrounding water-rich environment.
