2022 Map of Dalton

About this map

Dalton serves as the primary hub in this lake-rich portion of Otter Tail County, situated along the corridor of the Central Lakes State Trl. The landscape is defined by its glacial heritage, featuring a dense concentration of water bodies including Swan Lake, Tenmile Lake, and the winding Pomme de Terre River. The distribution of local landmarks suggests a strong heritage of rural congregational life, with several burial sites and religious centers such as Zion Lutheran Church Cem and Sarpsborg Cem located outside the main village. This network of township roads and lakeside settlements illustrates the enduring pattern of Minnesota's prairie-forest transition zone, where agricultural land and recreational waters meet. Genealogists may find particular value in the clearly marked sites like Ten Mile Lake Cem and Swan Lake Cem, which anchor the local history of the surrounding townships.
