About this map

Donnelly serves as the central hub for this portion of Stevens County, its grid of streets situated just east of Lundberg Lake. The landscape is a textbook example of Minnesota's prairie pothole region, where numerous small water bodies like Fish Lake and Barrett Lake are interspersed among a highly structured network of section-line roads. This geometry of agriculture and transport is evidenced by the prominent route of County Hwy-9 and the diagonal rail line that bisects the terrain.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and parish landmarks throughout the township. Multiple burial sites, including the Kongsvinger Lutheran Cemetery and Saint Theresia Cemetery, are preserved alongside the winding path of Twelvemile Creek, illustrating the early community clusters and religious heritage of the area's settlers. The presence of the Donnelly Post Office marks the village as a vital link in the regional postal and commerce network.
