About this map

Glacial lakes and wetlands define this Otter Tail County landscape, where Maplewood State Park covers a significant portion of the northern terrain. The area is characterized by a dense cluster of named water bodies, including Heilberger Lake, High Island Lake, and the notably named Railroad Lake. In the mid-1970s, the rural community structure was anchored by landmarks like Edwards and the Erhard-Maplewood Ch, with St Paul Ch and a nearby Cem serving the southern portion of the quadrangle.

The Otter Tail River winds through the southern townships of Friberg and Maine, while numerous National Waterfowl Production Areas highlight the region's importance as a migratory habitat. Scattered Gravel Pits indicate local industry, and a network of secondary roads and fence lines, interpreted from 1972 aerial photography, provides a detailed record of land use and property boundaries during this period of Minnesota's history.
