About this map

Lake Lida dominates this landscape in Otter Tail County, showcasing the intricate shoreline and surrounding glacial lake network of west-central Minnesota. The map documents several important community landmarks, including the Scandinavian Christian Mission Church Cem and the Maplewood Lutheran Church Cem, providing critical anchor points for genealogists tracing Norwegian and Scandinavian settlement patterns in the region.

A complex web of local routes like Lida Shore Loop and Bass Harbor Rd navigate the narrow peninsulas and lakefronts, connecting larger bodies like Lake Lizzie to smaller, distinct basins such as Deadwood Lake and Cataract Lake. The terrain is characterized by specific landmarks like Stoney Bar and the presence of numerous small cemeteries, such as East Lida Cem and West Dora Cem, which indicate the dispersed but well-established rural communities of the early 21st century.
