1978 Map of Timber Lake

Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint specific burial sites at Holy Cross Cem and a neighboring Cem, both located just east of the primary settlement. The terrain is characterized by the namesake Timber Lake water body and the winding course of Butte Creek to the east. Of particular interest to researchers are the fine red dashed lines noted in the margin, which represent specific fence and field lines visible from 1975 aerial photography, offering a precise look at late 20th-century land use and property boundaries in this part of Dewey County.
