About this map

Metigoshe Lake dominates the upper-left corner of this landscape, its complex shoreline defined by prominent features like Rugby Point, Squaw Point, and The Narrows. This glacial lake system, controlled by the Lake Metigoshe Dam, is dotted with significant landmasses including Bear Island, Masonic Island, and Mackay Island. The surrounding terrain is a classic prairie pothole region, dense with smaller water bodies such as Pelican Lake, Loon Lake, and the aptly named School Section Lake.

Local access is facilitated by a grid of rural roads and residential lanes, including Roadside Ranch Rd and Larson Beach Rd, which serve the developed lakefront. To the south and east, the map reveals a quieter, less developed landscape characterized by isolated waters like Deep Lake, Grigg Lake, and Hemming Lake, showing the transition from the active recreation areas of the north to the open wetlands and agricultural sections near Bear Lake.
