2013 Map of Evansville

About this map

Evansville and Melby anchor this glacial landscape in western Douglas County, where the topography is defined by a dense network of kettle lakes and wetlands. The settlement at Evansville is concentrated near the south-central portion of the sheet, featuring the Mound Grove Memorial Park and a local post office. Further northwest, the hamlet of Melby sits near the shores of Lake Christina, one of the largest water bodies in the region. The map reveals a land divided by the Otter Tail and Douglas County line, characterized by a grid of rural roads like Co Hwy-82 and MN-78. Local history is preserved at the Christina Lake Cem, located near Lake Ina. The intricate shoreline of Stockhousen Lake and the circular depression of Horseshoe Lake illustrate the complex hydrography typical of this prairie-pothole transition zone.
