2013 Map of Fourmile Lake

About this map

Pomme de Terre Lake and the winding Pomme de Terre River define the southeastern corner of this glaciated landscape along the border of Otter Tail and Grant counties. The area is densely packed with water bodies typical of the region's pothole geology, including Tenmile Lake, Fourmile Lake, and the centrally located Skunk Lake. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community evidenced by its numerous burial grounds, such as Hjerdal Cem, Christ Cem, and Bethlehem Cem. A complex network of township roads, including Twp Hwy 122 and Twp Hwy 127, provides access to the scattered farmsteads and lakeshores. The presence of Mill Pond near Pelican Cr suggests historical water-use patterns that shaped the local settlement long before this modern survey.
