2015 Map of Spirit Lake SE

About this map

Arnolds Park and the northwestern edge of Milford anchor this topographic view of the Iowa Great Lakes region in the mid-2010s. The landscape is defined by the complex aquatic system of the Okoboji chain, including the southern reaches of East Okoboji Lake and the smaller basins of Upper Gar Lake, Minnewashta Lake, and Lower Gar Lake. This survey illustrates the transition from the developed lakeside communities into the surrounding agricultural lands of Dickinson and Clay counties. Drainage patterns in the eastern and southern sections are marked by Bull Ditch, Little Muddy Cr, and Big Muddy Cr, showing how the low-lying glacial topography was managed for cultivation. A rigid grid of section roads like 210th ST and Co HWY a48 segments the terrain, providing a clear reference for property boundaries and local infrastructure as they stood during this recent survey era.
