About this map

Glacial geology defines the character of Otter Tail County in this late 1960s study, where the landscape is a dense network of water bodies and wetlands. Dominating the central area is Eagle Lake, surrounded by smaller basins including Torgerson Lake, Crane Lake, and Spitzer Lake. The terrain transitions into the elevated ridges of Leaf Mountain in the southeast, while northern sections include portions of Clitherall Lake.

Social and civic life is anchored by small rural institutions scattered throughout the townships of Clitherall, Nidaros, and Eagle Lake. Researchers will find local landmarks such as Trefoldighed Menighed Ch, Eagle Lake Ch, and Free Church. Historical education patterns are visible through the inclusion of School No 1418 and School No 1398, while family roots may be traced through the Evander Cem and Free Church Cem. The map also identifies the local Townhall and a small Landing Strip, reflecting the infrastructure of this mid-century agricultural region.
