About this map

West Okoboji Lake and Spirit Lake define this detailed 2013 survey of Iowa's premier glacial lake region. The map reveals a densely settled shoreline comprised of numerous distinct beach communities, including Triboji Beach, Manhattan Beach, and Egralharve Beach. This settlement pattern illustrates a long-standing tradition of seasonal and permanent lakeside living, further emphasized by the presence of several institutional retreats such as the United Methodist Camp, Presbyterian Camp, and the Okoboji Lutheran Bible Camp.

Inland from the busy resorts, the character changes to the agricultural and open landscapes of the Des Moines Lobe. Cayler Prairie preserves a fragment of the region's native grassland west of the Little Sioux River. Transportation and recreation are well-represented, from the Spirit Lake Municipal Airport and the village of Montgomery to local leisure hubs like the Okoboji Golf Course and Village East Resort. The map provides a precise record of the developed points and bays that shape the identity of this unique Iowa landscape.
