2010 Map of Henning SE

About this map

The agricultural grid of Otter Tail County defines this 2010 survey, where the landscape is etched with an extensive network of drainage infrastructure like County Ditch Number Forty-nine and County Ditch Number Eight. These man-made channels support the high-yield farming of the region, intersecting with natural water features such as South Bluff Creek and the southern marshlands of Wing River Lake. For genealogists, the map identifies three distinct burial sites: Trinity Cemetery in the northeast, Inman Cemetery near the center, and Oak Ridge Cemetery in the southwest. This pattern of small, distributed cemeteries suggests the enduring footprint of early family farmsteads and rural church congregations. Small glacial lakes, including North Lemmerhirt Lake and South Lemmerhirt Lake, punctuate the otherwise uniform section lines established by roads like County Hwy-140 and Elmwood Rd.
