2021 Map of South Red Iron Lake

About this map

The Coteau des Prairies plateau forms the backdrop for this lake-strewn landscape in Marshall County, dominated by a long chain of glacial basins. The topography is defined by the central corridor of North Red Iron Lake and South Red Iron Lake, which are flanked by numerous smaller bodies of water including Josephine Lake, Almos Lake, and Lake Isabella. Human settlement patterns are scattered, primarily concentrated around the northern shores of Clear Lake and along rural routes like Co HWY 10 and 444th Ave. Genealogists will find the Old Eden Cem located south of the main lakes, serving as a landmark for the historical community. The map reveals a transition from these large water bodies to more marshy terrain at Pete W Slough and Meyer Slough, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Glacial Lakes region.
