About this map

The glacial landscape of Grant County is defined by a dense concentration of lakes and prairie wetlands, anchored by the community of Elbow Lake. A network of township roads and highways, including Us-59 and Us-79, connects the scattered farmsteads and rural cemeteries that document the region's cultural history. To the southeast, the Pomme de Terre River flows through a chain of water bodies including Pomme de Terre Lake and Barrett Lake, near the village of Barrett.

Significant historical sites are preserved across the terrain, most notably the Native American Burial Grounds and the Tipsinah Mounds Park Campground on the shores of the northern lakes. Religious and genealogical heritage is well-represented by several country churchyards, such as Lund Cem, Bethania Cem, and Fridhem Cem. The northern portion of the map also details the local aviation infrastructure at the Elbow Lake Municipal - Pride of the Prairie Airport.
