About this map

Black Hawk Lake and its intricate shoreline dominate this portion of Sac County, reflecting a landscape shaped by glacial activity and modern water management. The settlement of Lakeview occupies the northwestern shore, where many local landmarks are situated along the water's edge, including Ice House Point and Hunters Point. Further south, the town of Wall Lake sits near the western edge of the quadrangle, while the smaller community of Carnarvon is located to the southeast.

A network of drainage systems, such as Drainage Ditch 60 and Drainage Ditch 71, alongside the Wall Lake Inlet, illustrates the intensive agricultural reclamation and water control efforts common in this part of Iowa. Distinctive topographical features like Gun Shot Hill and various named points like Lakewood Point and Drillings Point provide unique reference points for researchers interested in the historical development of these lakeside communities.
