2010 Map of Battle Lake

About this map

The town of Battle Lake sits at the western edge of West Battle Lake, serving as a central hub for this lake-dense region of Otter Tail County. The map captures a well-developed recreation and residential landscape at the start of the 2010s, featuring numerous seasonal and year-round communities like Inglewood and Clitherall. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites documenting the area's pioneer roots, including the Skibvedt Cemetery, Lakewood Cemetery, and the First Evangelical Lutheran Church Cemetery. The topography is defined by complex glacial hydrology, with the Otter Tail River flowing through Otter Tail Lake in the north and the Blanche Lake Dam controlling levels at Lake Blanche. Resorts such as the Woodland Beach Resort and Campground and Scenic Point Resort and Campgrounds underscore the area's long-standing identity as a destination for seasonal tourism and lakeside living.
