About this map

The city of Atwater anchors the southern portion of this Kandiyohi County landscape, situated along the BNSF Railway corridor. This area is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands, most notably the expansive Diamond Lake and the smaller Sperry Lake, Schultz Lake, and Wheeler Lake to the east. The terrain is relatively level, punctuated by water bodies and the Middle Fork Crow River which cuts across the northeast corner near the Meeker County line.

Local history is well-preserved through numerous burial grounds such as Bethlehem Cem and Union Cem near the town center, and Saint John Evangelical Lutheran Cem further north. The grid of country roads, including Co Hwy 10 and Co Hwy 4, connects these historic sites with rural landmarks like Pagel's Field and Oakside Cem, reflecting a long-standing agricultural and transport pattern that persists in this central Minnesota region.
