2022 Map of Lake Elizabeth

About this map

The glacial waters of Lake Elizabeth and Mennetaga Lake dominate this portion of the Kandiyohi and Meeker county line, reflecting a landscape defined by its wetlands and prairie depressions. This 2022 survey documents a rural environment where land management is visible through features like State Ditch Number One and Br Number Two, which drain the low-lying areas between lakes. The human history of the region is anchored by local burial grounds, including the Lake Elizabeth Cem, Oak Grove Cem, and Rosendale Cem, each serving as a landmark for the surrounding farming community. A notable modern addition to the landscape is the Stanton Hill Aerodrome, situated just south of the main lake body. The map illustrates the grid-based road system typical of the Midwest, with routes like Co Rd 86 and 105th Ave SE connecting isolated farmsteads and the various lakefronts.
