2019 Map of Deer Creek

About this map

The town of Deer Creek serves as the focal point of this Otter Tail County survey, situated at the junction of Main Ave and Co Rd 50. The surrounding landscape is characterized by a high density of wetlands and small water bodies, particularly evident in the marshy expanses south of Co Hwy 52. Water drainage patterns are defined by the Leaf River and several small tributaries including Finn Cr and Bluff Cr, while the presence of County Ditch Number Eight indicates the historical efforts to manage these prairie wetlands for agricultural use. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for three local burial grounds: Oak Hill Cem to the west, Fairview Cem near the town center, and Topelius Cem along the northern rail corridor. These landmarks, along with established routes like Cree Trl, offer a clear picture of the region's rural structure in the early 21st century.
