2010 Map of Doran

About this map

The Otter Tail River winds through the northern portion of this Wilkin County landscape, defining the topography of an otherwise orderly agricultural grid. The small settlement of Doran serves as the local hub, situated at a key intersection of regional thoroughfares. Beyond the town center, the map reveals a rural landscape dominated by township roads like Twp Hwy 140 and T-143. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the preservation of two burial sites: the Sticklestad Cemetery and the Old Vikku Lutheran Cemetery, which anchor the history of early Lutheran settlement in the region. The map’s thorough documentation of the road network, including County Hwy-159 and County Hwy-17, illustrates the connection between these remote homesteads and the larger river valley economy.
