About this map

Beaver Lake State Park and the expansive waters of Beaver Lake dominate the southwestern corner of this Logan County landscape. This survey, based on 1970s aerial photography, reveals a glaciated terrain characterized by numerous small prairie potholes and larger water bodies like Island Lake and Doyles Lake. A local landmark, the Old Settlers Monument, stands near the shore of the primary lake, signifying the area's importance to early regional pioneers. The prevalence of the National Waterfowl Production Area underscores the importance of this wetland ecosystem. Within the townships of Dixon and Red Lake, the map documents a sparse agricultural and conservation-focused environment, where Beaver Creek drains the lake and a network of section-line roads connects isolated wells and gravel extraction sites.
