2010 Map of Lakefield SE

About this map

Loon Lake and its surrounding wetlands anchor this prairie landscape along the Minnesota-Iowa border. The topography is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, including Judicial Ditch Number Sixtysix and Judicial Ditch Number Eight, which manage the region's surface water for agricultural use. Evidence of local recreation and community life is visible at the Loon Lake Golf Course, the Loon Lake Campground, and the Loon Lake Dam. To the south, the map captures the northern fringes of Spirit Lake and Little Spirit Lake, crossing into the neighboring state. For those tracing local heritage, the Loon Lake Cemetery sits just off County Hwy-73, near where Loon Creek exits the lake. Other notable water features include Chandler Lake, Clear Lake, and the marshy expanses of Andersons Marsh.
