About this map

The eastern shores of Lake Osakis define this Central Minnesota landscape, where the town of Osakis sits at the southern tip of the water. The terrain is a complex network of wetlands and smaller basins, including Platt Lake, Little Lake Osakis, and Slanson Lake, connected by the winding course of the Long Prairie River and the Sauk River. These waterways have long shaped the local geography, creating distinctive landforms such as Battle Point, Lindberg Point, and Caughren Point that reach into the main lake.

Rural life is anchored by family and community landmarks, particularly evident in the small cemeteries that dot the countryside. Researchers can find Gordon Cem, Stallcop Cem, and Salem Cem situated along the township roads. The map illustrates the transition from the lakefront developments to the structured agricultural grid, where drainage features like Baugh Cr and quiet water bodies like Stallcop Lake and Marge Lake intersperse the fields and woodlots of Todd County.
