2016 Map of Lake Elizabeth

About this map

Lake Elizabeth dominates the center of this rural landscape, featuring the prominent Big Island and a connection to Carrie Lake via Lake Elizabeth Pass. Located along the border where Kandiyohi and Meeker counties meet, the area is defined by its extensive lacustrine systems and agricultural drainage, most notably the channel of State Ditch Number One. Local history is anchored by several burial sites that serve as landmarks for the surrounding farming community, including Lake Elizabeth Cem to the west and Oak Grove Cem situated near the eastern shore. Smaller water bodies like Mennetaga Lake and Summit Lake dot the northern sections, while Rosendale Cem sits in the southeast, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists tracing family roots in this lake-rich portion of Minnesota.
