1978 Map of Mutske Lake

About this map

Mutske Lake and the surrounding prairie of Campbell County define this landscape as it was documented in the late 1970s. The terrain is a network of depressions and seasonal water sources, featuring several Springs and the winding course of Spring Creek. Human presence is marked by the long corridor of the Soo Line railroad cutting across the northern reaches of the quadrangle. For those researching the heritage of the Dakotas, the map identifies specific burial grounds like the Hoffnungstal Cem and an additional unnamed Cem, which offer precise locations for genealogical study. The presence of multiple Gravel Pit sites reflects the local geology and the industrial needs of road building in this rural expanse.
