2011 Map of Rangeley SE

About this map

Saint Johns Cemetery sits near the southern boundary of this section of McHenry County, a quiet landmark within a landscape defined by the prairie potholes of the northern plains. This 2011 survey reveals an intricate network of wetlands and seasonal basins, where large bodies of water like Lake Lemer and Bromley Lake dominate the central terrain. The map records a highly structured grid of section-line roads, such as 12th Ave NE and 44th St NE, which carve the open country into distinct agricultural blocks. These roads provide the primary navigation through a region of scattered water bodies, including Duckshire Lake in the north and the expansive Round Lake to the southeast. The distribution of these lakes suggests a complex local drainage pattern typical of this glaciated geography, where the relationship between the surveyed road grid and the irregular shorelines of Long Lake and Martin Lake illustrates the intersection of human geometry and natural hydrology.
