2016 Map of Lake Miltona West

About this map

Leaf Valley serves as the central community in this landscape of glacial lakes and agricultural prairie along the Douglas and Otter Tail county line. The topography is defined by significant water bodies, notably the sprawling southern reach of Lake Miltona and the northern bay of Lake Ida, separated by a narrow neck of land featuring Betsy Ross Point and Christopherson Bay. Smaller basins like Diekow Lake and Vermont Lake are scattered across the township, connected by an artificial drainage network including County Ditch Number Sixty and County Ditch Number Eleven. Local history is anchored by the Saint James Cem near the northern border and Ebenezer Cem further south. The road network, including Co HWY 27 and Co HWY 63, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating the orderly settlement pattern of this rural Minnesota region.
