2022 Map of Lake Olaf

About this map

Glacial lakes and small-scale aviation define the landscape of Otter Tail County in this modern record. The area is dotted with numerous water bodies, including Lake Olaf, Grena Lake, and Granrud Lake, which dominate the eastern half of the sheet. For genealogists and local historians, the distribution of denominational and community burial grounds is significant. Sites like Norwegian Grove Cem, North Immanuel Cem, and Ringsaker Cem are scattered across the townships, reflecting the deep-rooted settlement patterns of the region. A notable 21st-century landmark is the Velo Airstrip, located near the southern border, which highlights the continued use of private flight infrastructure in rural Minnesota. The road network, including Co HWY 30 and Co HWY 28, connects these scattered water features and historic sites, providing a clear view of the current land division and transport routes in the township system.
