2020 Map of Lake Tschida West

About this map

Lake Tschida dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, formed where the Heart River meets several small tributaries including Coal Cr and Sled Cr. The surrounding terrain is defined by the Stone Hills, which overlook a network of section-line roads and prairie coulees. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of Johannestal Cem and Trinity Lutheran Cem provides a clear link to the German-Russian heritage and early settlement patterns of this portion of Grant County. The map details the rural infrastructure and land divisions that persist into the 21st century, illustrating how the man-made reservoir has reshaped the original river valley.
