About this map

The small community of Long Lake is the focal point of this McPherson County landscape, situated where Old Sioux Rd transitions into a grid of local streets including Main St, Penn St, and McCoy St. This 2012 survey illustrates a classic northern plains settlement pattern, with the town surrounded by a vast network of section-line roads such as 350th Ave and 106th St. The area is dotted with numerous small prairie potholes and larger water bodies like Klooz Lake.

Genealogists will find particular value in the several rural burial grounds that serve the local area, including Salem Cem located just north of the town center, Emmanuel Cem to the northeast, and Arena Valley Cem in the southeast corner. The presence of these three distinct cemeteries, paired with the persistence of the Old Sioux route, provides a detailed record of the community's established history and rural layout in the early 21st century.
