2012 Map of Sully Lake

About this map

Sully Lake and the winding course of Okobojo Cr define this section of the Great Plains, illustrating a landscape primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System. The map shows the late 20th-century transition to a modern rural infrastructure, where the section-line grid is clearly defined by numbered routes such as 295th Ave and 183rd St. Small clusters of development appear near the lake's western edge along Sully Pl, representing the localized concentration of activity in an otherwise expansive agricultural region. The drainage patterns of the creek and its small tributaries contrast sharply with the rigid geometry of the surrounding roads, showing how the natural hydrology of Sully County has dictated the placement of crossings and early homestead locations.
