2010 Map of Eagle Lake

About this map

Eagle Lake and Clitherall Lake dominate this glacial landscape in Otter Tail County, where numerous smaller basins like Belmont Lake and Hancock Lake illustrate the pothole-rich topography of the region. This 2010 survey details a transition from the larger water bodies in the north to a dense cluster of wetlands and ponds to the south. The area is defined by its deep-rooted rural community, evidenced by several family and congregational burial grounds scattered across the township, including Evander Cemetery and the Free Church Cemetery near Bluebird Rd. A network of rural routes, from Peninsula Trl to Grue Church Rd, connects these sites, reflecting a century of agricultural land use and lakefront development that remains largely intact. The presence of Oak Hill Farm Cemetery and Grue Cemetery near Jolly Ann Lake offers specific points of interest for those researching the early families who settled this lake country.
