About this map

Peterson Point Historic Farmstead anchors this rural landscape, situated on the eastern shore of Ingham Lake. The area is defined by a complex chain of glacial lakes and sloughs, including Swan Lake to the north and High Lake to the south. This network of water is connected by several marshy channels like North Slough, West Slough, and Cunningham Slough, illustrating the post-glacial topography of Palo Alto County.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the early community centers at Swan Lake Village and its associated Swan Lake Village Cemetery. The recreational use of the lakes is evident through the presence of Ingham Lake Camp and Forest Ridge Camp. A grid of section-line roads, such as Ingham Lake Rd and Burr Oak Rd, provides access to these water bodies and the Des Moines River in the southwestern corner.
