2022 Map of Lake Osakis West

About this map

Lake Osakis dominates the southeastern corner of this Douglas County landscape, where the shoreline is defined by Miller Bay and Peterson Bay. The terrain transitions from the marshy lowlands surrounding Bird Lake and Stowe Lake to the agricultural reaches of the north. The Long Prairie River and its various tributaries, including Calamus Cr and the Crooked Lake Ditch, create a complex network of wetlands and drainage throughout the townships. The Central Lakes State Trl cuts across the southern portion of the map, following a former rail corridor that historically linked these lakeside communities. This modern survey captures the enduring rural character of the area, illustrating how local roads like Bird Lake Rd NE and Calvary Rd NE still follow the section lines of the original land survey system.
