About this map

Lake Johanna and its surrounding wetlands dominate this landscape at the intersection of Stearns, Pope, and Kandiyohi counties. The settlement of Brooten sits at the northern edge, where the grid of Roe St and local township roads like Twp Rd T-11 connect the scattered farmsteads of the glacial prairie. The map reveals a high density of small, named water bodies including Rocky Mountain Lake, Skanning Lake, and Brenner Lake, many of which are linked by intricate drainage systems like County Ditch Number Fifteen.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial sites, from the established Lake Johanna Cem and South Lake Johanna Cem to the smaller Stockholm Family Cem and Trinity Cem near the town site. The map documents a rural environment where land use is dictated by the complex hydrography, with features such as Bracey Slough and Hefta Lake creating a non-linear network of property boundaries and access routes.
