2017 Map of Twin Lakes

About this map

Little Muddy River defines the central drainage of this Williams County landscape, where the prairie is carved by a network of seasonal watercourses and namesake basins. The eponymous Twin Lakes sit in the western portion of the quadrangle, while several other prominent water bodies including Lone Tree Lake and Johnny Anderson Slough reflect the region's complex glacial topography. Cultural landmarks are sparse in this rural area, making the East Fork Cem near the E Fork Little Muddy River a primary site for genealogical research. The map documents the persistent township and range grid system, with many section lines reinforced by a network of rural roads such as Co HWY 10 and 74th ST NW that link the scattered farmsteads of the Missouri Plateau.
