2015 Map of Spencer

About this map

Spencer stands at the heart of this East River landscape, where the prairie grid of Hanson and McCook Counties meets a scattering of glacial lakes and wetlands. The town's residential core is clearly defined by local streets such as Cordo St, Wilcox St, and Dewey St, while the surrounding agricultural lands are punctuated by water bodies like Lake Eli and the expansive Lehrman Slough. For those tracing local history, the map preserves the exact locations of Lakeside Cem to the northwest and Spencer Cem to the south. The terrain is defined by the gentle drainage of Wolf Creek and a network of section-line roads that have organized this territory since its initial settlement. Significant landmarks like Gross Lake and Macke Lake in the eastern reaches illustrate the hydrology of the Coteau des Prairies.
