About this map

Glacial geology defines this portion of Otter Tail County, where dozens of named basins create a dense network of water bodies. The village of Dent serves as a local hub near the center of the sheet, while the smaller settlement of Richville is situated in the southeast corner near Richville Cem. The landscape is a mosaic of wetlands and ridges, with family and community history preserved at several burial sites including Pleasant Hill Cem, Sacred Heart Cem, and Immanuel Cem.

Transportation routes navigate around the larger waters of Marion Lake and Little McDonald Lake, connecting local farms and residences. Aviation interest is noted at the Aerovilla Airport in the northeast, tucked between Little Devils Lake and Devils Lake. The concentration of cemeteries and small settlements suggests a long-standing rural community structure that has remained largely intact through the early 21st century.
