2016 Map of Heinola

About this map

Heinola sits at the heart of this central Minnesota landscape, a region defined by its dense concentration of glacial lakes and river systems. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the connected waters of W Leaf Lake and E Leaf Lake, which feed into the meandering course of the Leaf River. To the northwest, the map captures a significant portion of Rush Lake, highlighting the extensive shoreline and low-lying wetlands that characterize the Otter Tail County terrain. Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial grounds that serve as markers of the area's early settlement, including Prairie Cem, Woodland Cem, and Leaf Lake Cem. The map illustrates a strictly surveyed grid of county highways and township roads, such as Co HWY 54 and Co HWY 67, that navigate around the complex hydrography of creeks like Willow Cr.
