2018 Map of Lake View

About this map

Lake View and the surrounding agricultural plains of Sac County are defined by a complex hydraulic network of glacial lakes and managed drainage. The landscape is centered on Black Hawk Lake, where numerous named peninsulas like Ice House Point, Lakewood Point, and Provost Point mark the irregular shoreline. This water system is supported by the Wall Lake Inlet and drained via the Wall Lake Outlet, reflecting the region's long history of water management for both recreation and agriculture. To the southwest, the town of Wall Lake sits near the headwaters of the Boyer River and Lime Cr, situated amidst a grid of section-line roads and drainage infrastructure such as Drainage Ditch 60. Smaller communities like Carnarvon and local landmarks including Ferguson Cem and Wall Lake Cem provide key points of reference for genealogists and local historians studying the rural settlement patterns of western Iowa.
