About this map

Swan Lake and the surrounding prairie wetlands dominate this landscape on the border of Day and Clark Counties during the early 1970s. The region is characterized by extensive conservation and recreation areas, including the Haugen State Public Shooting Area, Dale State Public Shooting Area, and multiple units of the National Waterfowl Production Area. These managed lands surround numerous smaller water bodies such as Mud Lake and Long Lake, highlighting the area's importance as a migratory bird habitat.

Evidence of early rural organization remains visible through small-scale landmarks. The presence of a local Townhall and cemeteries like Hosanger Cem and Highland Cem provide essential reference points for genealogists and local historians. Small industrial footprints, such as various Gravel Pit locations, are scattered near the township boundaries of York, Highland, and Butler, reflecting the local maintenance of the township road network.
