About this map

Fergus Falls is defined by the winding course of the Otter Tail River and its complex network of glacial lakes and reservoirs. This 2022 survey captures the regional importance of the area, anchored by the sprawling Fergus Falls State Hospital and the Otter Tail County Courthouse. The town's institutional history is further evidenced by several large cemeteries, including the Hospital Cem and First Lutheran North Cem, which are valuable for genealogical research.

Natural hydrology and modern recreation intersect along the Central Lakes State Trl and the Otter Tail River Trl, which navigate a landscape of water bodies like Hoot Lake, Wright Lake, and Pebble Lake. The map illustrates the transition from the structured street grid of the city center to the surrounding townships, marked by educational centers like the Minnesota State Community and Technical College and a series of rural churches such as the Immanuel Lutheran Church.
