About this map

The Otter Tail River winds through the heart of Fergus Falls, creating a landscape defined by its numerous reservoirs and glacial lakes. This 2013 survey illustrates the dense concentration of community institutions and burial sites that reflect the area's long-term development, from the Otter Tail County Fairgrounds to the Minnesota State Community And Technical Coll. Of particular interest to local historians is the State Hospital for the Insane Cem, a significant landmark documenting the social history of the region.

Residential growth is evident in developments like Lakeview Estates and River Bluff Estates, while the surrounding township is dotted with denominational burial grounds including Kongsberg Cem and Bethlehem Cem. The confluence of the Pelican River and the Otter Tail River, along with bodies of water such as Lake Alice and Pebble Lake, showcases the intricate hydrography that has shaped the city's modern layout and recreational spaces.
