2020 Map of Turtle Lake

About this map

Turtle Lake and its namesake town serve as the primary focus in this McLean County landscape, where the prairie is defined by a dense network of glacial sloughs and lakes. The central settlement of Turtle Lake is organized around a grid of streets including Railroad Ave and Burke Ave, supported by the Turtle Lake Municipal Airport to the south. This era shows the modern path of the N Country National Scenic Trail as it winds through the center of the quadrangle, skirting several large water bodies like Lake Brekken and Kasper Slough. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies key burial sites such as Saint Olaf Lutheran Cem to the north and the Turtle Lake Cem near the town center, while hydrological features like Brittons Slough and Mud Lake reflect the characteristic wetland geography of the Missouri Plateau.
