About this map

Elbow Lake and Barrett anchor this Grant County landscape, characterized by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The geography is defined by water bodies such as Flekkefjord Lake, Cormorant Lake, and Swan Lake, while the Pomme de Terre River winds through the eastern reaches. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by a high density of burial sites, including the Native American Burial Grounds and several denominational grounds like Saint Loretto Catholic Cemetery and Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery.

Transport and recreation are central to the area's layout, with the Elbow Lake Municipal Airport serving the northern sector and the Barrett Lake Resort and Campground indicating the region's appeal for seasonal visitors. Infrastructure like the Blakesley Slough Dam on the Pomme de Terre River shows the management of local waterways, while numerous township highways, such as TWP HWY 138 and TWP HWY 35, connect the scattered farmsteads and rural cemeteries that comprise the agricultural interior.
