About this map

Inman and Oak Valley townships characterize this region of southeastern Otter Tail County, where a complex network of glacial wetlands and drainage systems defines the landscape. The northern portion of the map is marked by the Northern Pacific and Burlington railroad corridors, serving as vital transportation links near the boundary of Deer Creek. The terrain is notable for its extensive conservation areas, including the Inman State Wildlife Management Area and Elmo State Wildlife Management Area, which encompass numerous small lakes and marshlands. Genealogists and local researchers will find several well-defined burial sites across the townships, such as Inman Cem, Trinity Cem, and Oak Ridge Cem. Managed water systems like County Ditch No 49 reflect the local history of land reclamation and agriculture, while natural water bodies like North Lemmerhirt Lake and South Lemmerhirt Lake dominate the southern sections.
