2019 Map of Atwater

About this map

Atwater serves as the primary hub in this portion of Kandiyohi County, situated at the intersection of several significant local transit corridors including Co Hwy 2 and Co Hwy 4. The landscape is defined by its numerous glacial lakes and wetlands, most notably Diamond Lake and Sperry Lake, which influence the layout of rural routes like Diamond Shore Rd and Sperry Lake Rd. Genealogical data is abundant here, with a high density of burial grounds such as Bethlehem Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Saint John Evangelical Lutheran Cem clustered near the township and along the county border. The northern reach is crossed by the Middle Fork Crow River, while the southern area features smaller water bodies including Summit Lake and Tadd Lake. This survey illustrates a modern rural-residential pattern where farmsteads and open areas like Pagel's Field sit adjacent to growing lakeside developments.
