About this map

Park Lutheran Church and its accompanying Park Lutheran Church Cemetery stand at the heart of this Clay County landscape, serving as a spiritual and communal anchor for the surrounding rural area. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of glacial prairie potholes and larger bodies of water, including the elongated Long Lake and the complex shoreline of Upper Cormorant Lake. These lakes are often named for early local families, as seen with Erickson Lake, Jergenson Lake, and Solum Lake, providing valuable clues for genealogists tracking ancestral landholdings.

Transportation throughout the region is managed by a grid of county highways and local roads such as County Hwy-118 and Lee Lake Rd. Recreation and local infrastructure are represented by the Lee Lake Campground and Johnston Airport, while several historic burial grounds like Solem Cemetery and Houglum Cemetery are scattered across the quadrangle. The map reflects a classic Minnesota lake country settlement pattern, where residences and farms are interspersed between numerous named water bodies like Rose Lake and Bijou Lake.
