2019 Map of Elizabeth

About this map

Elizabeth sits in the southeastern corner of this quadrangle, surrounded by a glacial landscape defined by numerous kettle lakes and scattered rural cemeteries. The area is dotted with significant local landmarks such as Nelson Lake, Houland Lake, and Lake Haldorsen, which dominate the central terrain. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of burial sites including the Old Friborg Cem, South Friborg Cem, and the Zion Elizabeth Cem. The presence of the Hedemarken Lutheran Church Cem and the Evangelical Lutheran Kirchof Cem reflects the Scandinavian heritage and religious settlement patterns of Otter Tail County. The road network, including Old Hwy 52 and various county routes like Co Hwy 10, connects these remote farmsteads and religious centers, following the natural undulations of the prairie and wetland terrain.
