2012 Map of Lake Sinai

About this map

Lake Sinai and Brush Lake dominate the landscape of this Brookings County quadrangle, reflecting a glaciated terrain defined by numerous sloughs and seasonal basins. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the rural character of the region just before modern agricultural and infrastructure shifts. The tiny settlement of Ahnberg serves as a local landmark amidst a rigid grid of section roads, including 457th Ave and 212th St. For those researching local history or genealogy, the presence of Bangor Cem near the western edge of the map provides a specific point of interest for tracing early family roots in the township. The area is intersected by Route 14, which serves as the primary east-west artery through this prairie landscape.
