2012 Map of Lonesome Lake

About this map

The Big Sioux River and Indian River converge in this corner of Codington County, shaping a landscape defined by prairie water systems and a precise grid of rural section roads. This 2012 survey documents a sparsely populated agricultural region where the hydrology remains the primary landmark. To the west, the namesake Lonesome Lake provides a notable basin amidst the cultivated fields. For those researching local family history, the Bergen Cem stands as a significant point of interest, situated along 451st Ave near the river's winding course. The map illustrates the persistent structure of the Great Plains township system, where numbered roads like 151st St and 450th Ave facilitate access to isolated farmsteads and rural properties.
