1982 Map of Lake Lillian

About this map

Big Kandiyohi Lake dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, its shoreline managed with local recreation at County Park No 1 and its natural value preserved through the National Waterfowl Production Area. The agrarian character of central Minnesota is evident in the intricate network of drainage systems, including State Ditch No 1 and Judicial Ditch No 2, which transformed the glacial prairie into productive farmland. The village of Lake Lillian serves as a local hub, situated near the shores of East Lake Lillian. Family names and early community nodes are preserved through numerous local cemeteries such as Pioneers Union Cem and Christine Cem, while the winding South Fork Crow River cuts through the northeast corner, providing a natural contrast to the grid-patterned fields of Kingman and Winfield townships.
