2021 Map of Wolff Lake

About this map

The state boundary between McIntosh County, North Dakota and McPherson County, South Dakota bisects this prairie landscape, where straight-line section roads define a grid across the glaciated terrain. To the south, the drainage of Spring Creek (also labeled Spring Cr) snakes through the hills, eventually feeding into the namesake Wolff Lake. The map reveals the quiet infrastructure of agricultural life, from the small settlement of Lowell on the eastern edge to the scattered burial grounds that speak to the area's pioneer heritage. Local history is anchored by the Johannestal Cem and Marienburg Cem, which serve as permanent markers for early families who settled these sections. The transition from the more developed road network north of the state line, featuring named streets like 98th St SE, to the southern routes like Co Hwy 4, illustrates the subtle differences in local infrastructure across the two states.
