About this map

Glacial depressions and agricultural water management define this portion of Otter Tail County, where natural water bodies like N Lemmerhirt Lake and S Lemmerhirt Lake are joined by a network of engineered drainage systems. The landscape is etched with channels such as County Ditch Number Forty-nine and County Ditch Number Sixty-eight, which redirect water through the low-lying terrain to support local farming operations. The settlement of Lyman stands as a focal point in the eastern portion of the sheet, surrounded by a grid of rural roads and section lines.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds across the township. Remote cemeteries, including Trinity Cem in the northeast, Inman Cem near the junction of MN-210, and Oak Ridge Cem in the southwest, provide a spatial record of early family settlements. These landmarks, along with natural features like Willow Cr and S Bluff Cr, offer a clear view of the area's development and its reliance on the complex local hydrology.
