About this map

Lake Johanna and its surrounding wetlands dominate this prairie landscape where Stearns, Pope, and Kandiyohi Counties meet. The area is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and depressions, including the uniquely named Rocky Mountain Lake, Kittleson Lake, and Tracer Slough. In the northeast corner, the edge of Brooten marks the primary center of settlement, while the rural interior is dotted with historical markers of family and community heritage.

Local genealogy is anchored by sites like the Lake Johanna Cem, South Lake Johanna Cem, and the Stockholm Family Cem. The complex hydrology of the region is further evidenced by engineering works such as County Ditch Number Fifteen and numerous smaller basins like Kjos Pond and Skanning Lake. This map captures a quintessential Minnesota lake-country topography, showing how roads like Co Hwy 8 and Co Hwy 37 navigate around these permanent water bodies.
