About this map

Niemackl Lakes and a dense network of glacial wetlands define this section of the prairie pothole region along the border of Grant and Stevens Counties. The landscape is characterized by a high concentration of water bodies, including Big Lake, Schram Lake, and Ohlsrud Lake, alongside seasonal features like Keitzman Slough and the dry Hazzard Lakebed. The Mustinka River winds through the northern townships, providing a central drainage for the surrounding basins.

Agricultural section lines dictate the modern road network, with routes like Co Hwy 13 and Co Rd 33 connecting scattered points of interest. Genealogists and local historians can find site-specific data for the area's early residents at Lakeside Cem near Graham Lake and Saint Charles Cem further south. The map reflects a rural environment where land use is intimately tied to the shifting water levels of basins such as Sherstad Slough and Cottonwood Lake.
