2016 Map of Deer Creek

About this map

Deer Creek serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated at the junction of several local transit corridors. The area's agricultural and hydrological character is defined by the Leaf River and its various tributaries, including Finn Cr and Bluff Cr, which drain the surrounding plains. The extensive network of drainage, exemplified by County Ditch Number Eight, indicates a landscape heavily modified for mid-century farming. For those tracing family histories in Otter Tail County, three significant burial grounds are preserved here: Oak Hill Cem on the western edge of the settlement, Fairview Cem to the north, and the more isolated Topelius Cem located in the northeastern section near the wetlands.
