1983 Map of Lemmon Lake

About this map

Grand River National Grassland dominates the southern half of this landscape, reflecting a conservation-focused era of land management in Perkins County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages, including Thunder Hawk Creek and East Thunder Hawk Creek, which carve through the plains toward the south. Near the center of the survey, Dog Tooth Creek winds through open country before meeting the Grand River corridor. Cultural features are sparse, consisting primarily of scattered wells and occasional gravel pits, indicating an economy centered on ranching and natural resource extraction rather than dense settlement. The eastern boundary is marked by Lemmon Lake State Game Production Area, where Lemmon Lake serves as a primary water feature and recreational anchor for the surrounding Dewitt and Lincoln townships.
