2021 Map of Long Lake

About this map

The small settlement of Long Lake serves as the central point of this McPherson County landscape, situated at the intersection of Main St and 1st St S. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of prairie potholes and small basins, including Klooz Lake to the southwest. This area reflects a typical Great Plains agricultural grid, where section lines are strictly maintained by roads such as 350th Ave and 105th St. Local heritage is preserved in several rural burial grounds that dot the sections, including Salem Cem just north of the village and Emmanuel Cem near the northern boundary. In the far southern reaches, Arena Valley Cem sits near the township line, indicating the historical distribution of early homesteading communities. The presence of the Old Sioux Rd in the northwest suggests an older corridor of travel that predates the modern county highway system.
