2017 Map of Lake Poinsett

About this map

Lake Poinsett dominates this landscape, sitting at the junction of Hamlin and Brookings counties. This large glacial water body is a central geographical fixture on the Coteau des Prairies plateau, surrounded by a grid of rural roads and the shoreline settlement of Arlington Beach. The map details the local road network connecting seasonal residences and agricultural land, including NW Lake Dr and SE Lake Dr which ring the lake. Notable local landmarks include the Stone Bridge crossing on the lake's northern end and the Bakke Cem located just off E Lake Dr. The survey captures the contrast between the open water and the wetland-studded prairie to the south, highlighting the region's importance for local recreation and its enduring rural character.
