2017 Map of Lake Sinai

About this map

Lake Sinai and its surrounding wetlands define the landscape of this Brookings County quadrangle. Situated upon the Coteau des Prairies, the terrain is characterized by a high concentration of glacial depressions and small water bodies that underscore the region's unique geography. The settlement of Arlington occupies the northwest corner of the sheet, while the smaller locality of Ahnberg sits further east along 212A St. Local history is anchored by the Bangor Cem near Brush Lake, providing a clear focal point for genealogical research. The map illustrates a dense grid of township roads, including 457th Ave and 211th St, which trace the section lines typical of the Dakotas' agricultural development. This survey reflects the persistence of the rural prairie landscape in the early 21st century, showing how modern transportation routes continue to follow the early land survey patterns.
