About this map

Lauderdale Lakes and its intricate shoreline dominate the southern portion of this region, characterized by a series of points and islands including Tratts Point, Pleasant Island, and Dewings Island. This area, including the communities of Lauderdale Shores and Lauderdale, reflects a landscape deeply shaped by glacial activity and modern water management, evidenced by the Lauderdale Lakes 2- WP-618 Dam. Further north, the terrain transitions into a more traditional agricultural layout centered around settlements like La Grange and Little Prairie.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds such as Skoponong Cemetery and Round Prairie Cemetery, which serve as quiet markers of the area's early settlement patterns. Transport and recreation are woven together here, from the small Tamarack Airport to the presence of Honey Creek and the numerous smaller water bodies like Swift Lake and Peters Lake that dot the eastern landscape.
