2012 Map of Wolff Lake

About this map

Lowell stands as a primary point of reference in this borderland region between North and South Dakota. The landscape is defined by the hydrologic network of Spring Cr, which flows toward the namesake Wolff Lake. These water features dictated the layout of the rural road grid, where long stretches of 101st St SE and 104th St intersect the north-south section lines. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of the Johannestal Cem and the Lutheran Cem, marking the early settlement nodes of the agrarian community. The terrain is characterized by numerous small prairie potholes and depressions scattered across the McIntosh County countryside, typical of the glaciated plains of the northern prairies.
