2012 Map of Lake Norden

About this map

Lake Norden and its surrounding chain of glacial lakes define this pocket of Hamlin County, where the town of Lake Norden sits along the western shore. The landscape is characterized by a dense concentration of water bodies including Lake Mary, Lake Saint John, and the expansive Lake Albert, which together create a complex aquatic geography. Settlement patterns follow a rigid section-line grid of rural roads like 450th Ave and 194th ST, punctuated by small community anchors. Genealogists can identify several distinct burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as East Norden Cem, Olivet Cem, and South Trinity Cem. The small settlement of Alsville appears on the eastern edge near the shores of Lake Poinsett, while Wildwood Shrs suggests a residential development concentrated between the lakes, reflecting the area's transition into a recreationally focused landscape.
