2017 Map of Lake Upsilon SW

About this map

The Turtle Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this Rolette County region, where the terrain transitions from upland peaks into the wetlands and prairies of the plains. This 2017 survey details a network of water features including Johnson Lake, Howard Lake, and the Holywater Spring, illustrating the complex hydrology characteristic of this glacial geography. The southern half of the map shows a shift toward agricultural land use, organized by a rigid grid of Bureau of Indian Affairs roads and local routes like 3 Mile Rd and 96th St NE. The presence of the Lakeview Cem near Snake Cr provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in Shell Valley. Throughout the area, ephemeral drainage patterns are visible along Mud Cr, documenting the environmental state of the watershed in the early 21st century.
