2021 Map of Willow Lake SW

About this map

Coteau des Prairies defines the geography of this portion of the Glacial Lake Agassiz region, characterized by its distinctive prairie pothole landscape and numerous small wetlands. In the northeast corner, the city of Willow Lake sits just south of its namesake water body. The area is a tapestry of section lines and gravel roads like Grant St and Cemetery Rd, reflecting the rigid township and range system that organized this agricultural landscape. Genealogy researchers will find significant sites such as Collins Cem, the St. James Catholic Cem, and the German Presbyterian Cem, each serving as a focal point for the early European immigrant communities that settled the plains. The headwaters of Redstone Cr wind through the southwestern sections, providing natural drainage for the surrounding fields. The boundary between Clark Co and Kingsbury Co runs horizontally through the center of the sheet, marking a significant administrative divide for local historians.
