About this map

Glacial lakes and a complex drainage system define this Martin County landscape as it appeared in the late 2000s. A north-to-south chain of water bodies, including Hall Lake, Amber Lake, Wilmert Lake, and the Silver Lake system, dominates the terrain. This watery corridor is supported by an intricate network of engineered channels such as County Ditch Number Nine and Judicial Ditch Number Ninetyeight, reflecting the region's managed agricultural hydrology.

Local history and community sites are scattered across the grid-pattern roads, including Holy Name Cemetery in the east and Center Chain Cemetery near South Silver Lake. Recreational land use is prominent, with Rolling Green Fairways to the northwest and Dawsons Lakeside Campgrounds on the western shore of North Silver Lake. The map details the precise infrastructure of the era, from the North Silver Lake Dam to the county line where Iowa Lake straddles the border.
