About this map

The Pomme de Terre River meanders through this landscape of the Minnesota glacial till plains, defining a corridor of wetlands and open water. The map documents a dense network of local water bodies including Tenmile Lake, Fourmile Lake, and the expansive Pomme de Terre Lake at the southern edge. This topography, characterized by numerous depressions and basins, reflects the post-glacial drainage patterns common across the Otter Tail and Grant county line.

Local heritage is anchored by several rural burying grounds that dot the countryside, such as Christ Lutheran Cem and Bethlehem Cem. The map shows a transition from structured township roads like Twp Rd 1209 and Goetzinger Rd to larger arteries such as Co Hwy 26. Small-scale hydrological features, including the Mill Pond and Pelican Cr, highlight the historical reliance on local water resources for early settlement and land management.
