2011 Map of Lake Ilo

About this map

Lake Ilo and its surrounding wetlands define this prairie landscape in western North Dakota. Created by the Lake Ilo Dam along Spring Creek, the reservoir is a central water feature in a region dominated by agricultural grid-lines and intermittent drainage. The map documents significant local landmarks for genealogists and historians, including the Dunn Center Cemetery to the northeast and the dual-labeled Mormannia Cemetery situated south of the lake. The terrain is further shaped by the meandering paths of Murphy Creek and Stray Creek, which cut through the open country. This 2011 survey captures the area's rural character and vital water management infrastructure, including the marshy expanse of Le Paul Slough at the eastern edge of the water body.
