2017 Map of Lily

About this map

Lily sits at the heart of this prairie landscape, a small settlement located along the high glacial plateau of the Coteau des Prairies. The surrounding terrain in this 2017 study is characterized by a dense network of wetlands and prominent water bodies such as Horseshoe Lake and Long Lake. The map reveals a high concentration of sites important for local genealogy and history, including Hillside Cem and Saint Joseph's Catholic Cem near the town center. To the south, across the border of Day and Clark Counties, the map identifies the distinct locations of Our Saviors Lutheran West Cem and Our Saviors Lutheran East Cem, along with Cottonwood Lake. The rigid grid of section lines and gravel roads, like Co Rd 36 and Co Rd 29, provides the framework for these scattered rural landmarks and agricultural tracts.
