2011 Map of Rennie Lake

About this map

East Branch Short Creek meanders through the central landscape of Burke County, defining the hydrologic character of this prairie region in the early 21st century. The terrain is marked by distinct water bodies including Rennie Lake and the aptly named Shallow Lake, along with the marshy extent of Black Slough to the west. This mapping shows a persistent grid of section-line roads such as 87th Ave NW and 99th St NW, which serve the agricultural operations of the northern plains. The presence of these thoroughfares, including County Rd 11 and various unnamed Twp Rd corridors, highlights the systematic division of the land into manageable tracts for farming and ranching. The lack of concentrated urban development in this quadrant emphasizes the rural, open nature of the country near the Canadian border.
