2017 Map of Piyas Lake

About this map

Coteau des Prairies, a vast upland plateau, defines the landscape of this region on the border of Marshall and Day Counties. The area is characterized by a high density of glacial lakes and wetlands, most notably Piyas Lake and the northern reaches of Pickerel Lake. These water bodies dominate the local topography, influencing the winding path of roads like Chekapa Bay Ln and Lakeview Dr. Evidence of the area's social history is found at the Buffalo Lake Cem located near the Buffalo Lakes in the north. The drainage system is anchored by Chekepa Cr, which flows from the southeast. This survey illustrates a quiet, rural landscape structured by the Public Land Survey System, with township lines such as t125n r53w and t124n r54w dividing the lake-strewn plains.
