2013 Map of Battle Lake

About this map

W Battle Lake and Clitherall Lake dominate this portion of the Otter Tail County lake country, where the city of Battle Lake serves as a central hub for transportation and recreation. The landscape is defined by its glacial history, with numerous smaller bodies of water like Lake Blanche, Molly Stark Lake, and Annie Battle Lake scattered across the terrain. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of five distinct burial grounds including Lakewood Cem, Mt Pleasant Cem, and the First Evangelical Lutheran Church Cem provides vital points of reference for tracing early families in the region. The infrastructure reflects a well-developed resort economy, visible through landmarks like the Battle Lake Municipal Airport, the Balmoral Golf Course, and seasonal destinations such as the Woodland Beach Resort and Campground. Local settlements such as Inglewood and Clitherall are connected by a network of state highways and country roads that skirt the winding shorelines.
