2018 Map of May Lake SE

About this map

Glacial depressions and prairie wetlands dominate this portion of the Missouri Coteau in McIntosh County. The landscape is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines, with secondary routes like 41st Ave SE and 97th St SE providing the only access through the rolling terrain. This rural expanse remains largely undeveloped, preserving a spatial pattern of isolated homesteads and community focal points typical of the northern Great Plains. In the southeastern corner, the proximity of Hoffnungsthal Cem and the Venturia Reformed Cem reflects the area's heritage of early religious congregations, where small country churches once served as the primary social and spiritual anchors for far-flung farming families.
