2022 Map of Elbow Lake
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
The Grant County Courthouse stands at the heart of Elbow Lake, anchoring a landscape defined by its glacial prairie potholes and early twentieth-century cemetery placements. This map details the transition from the municipal center of the county seat to the neighboring town of Barrett to the southeast, following the path of the Pomme de Terre River. The terrain is densely pocketed with named water bodies such as Flekkefjord Lake, Swan Lake, and Cormorant Lake, which historically influenced the placement of rural roads and homesteads. Local history is deeply embedded in the land, shown through several denominational burial sites including Saint Loretto Cem and Immanuel Lutheran Cem, as well as significant Native American Burial Grounds near Bethesda Cem. The presence of the Elbow Lake Municipal Airport - Pride of the Prairie reflects the modern agricultural and aviation character of this western Minnesota region.
