2018 Map of Tuttle Creek Dam

About this map

Tuttle Creek Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Riley and Pottawatomie County border region, held back by the massive engineering of the Tuttle Creek Dam. The area is characterized by a high density of named watercourses draining into the reservoir, including McIntyre Cr, Carnahan Cr, and Cedar Cr. These drainages create a complex network of ridges and valleys, navigated by a grid of rural routes such as Twin Mound Rd and Mud Creek Rd. Local history is anchored by sites like the Cedar Creek Cem situated north of the dam. The mapping reveals a transition from the structured residential roads of the south, like Terra Heights Dr and Vista Acres Dr, to the more expansive agricultural and woodland tracts to the north along the Pottawatomie County line.
