2021 Map of Lynn Lake

About this map

Coteau des Prairies defines the landscape of this region, where the high glacial plateau creates a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies. The terrain is dotted with markers of early Scandinavian settlement, most notably preserved at the Skudesnes Lutheran Church Cem in the north and the New Sweden Cem to the south. These sites, along with Bergen Cem, provide essential anchor points for genealogical research in this part of Day County. The rural infrastructure follows a rigid section-line grid, with routes like Co Rd 10 and 424th Ave cutting across the undulating ground. At the heart of the map lies Lynn Lake, one of several significant depressions in the plateau that collect drainage in this glaciated environment, reflecting the persistent prairie pothole character of the eastern Dakotas.
