1973 Map of Battle Lake

About this map

West Battle Lake and Clitherall Lake dominate this glaciated landscape of central Minnesota, where the lake-heavy terrain of Everts and Clitherall townships is shown in detail. The settlement of Battle Lake serves as a local hub, situated between its namesake waters and Elbow Lake. Transportation and industry are defined by the Burlington Northern railroad corridor and the Battle Lake Municipal Airport. Local heritage is preserved in numerous scattered burial grounds, including Lakewood Cem, Trinity Cem, and Skibvedt Cem. Further south, the village of Clitherall sits at the eastern edge of the map near the northern shore of its own namesake lake. The map also identifies specific local infrastructure such as a Fish Farm, several Gravel Pits, and a National Waterfowl Production Area, reflecting the area's mix of natural resource management and recreational water access.
