About this map

Little Kandiyohi Lake and its neighboring basins define this aquatic landscape in central Minnesota, where a complex network of waterways facilitates local drainage. The area is marked by a series of interconnected lakes, including the expansive Lake Wakanda and Big Kandiyohi Lake, which are linked by the Big Kandiyohi Channel. Smaller bodies like Swan Lake and Lake Eleanor dot the terrain, while the S Fork Crow River and drainage features like County Ditch Number Twentythree A reveal the managed hydrology of the agricultural countryside.

For family historians, the map is a significant record of rural community centers, preserving the locations of numerous burial grounds. From Tripolis Cem and Oak Park Cem in the north to Bethesda Cem in the south, these sites alongside Oak Hill Cem and the Old Baptist Cem serve as critical anchors for researchers tracing early regional families. The grid of rural roads, including Big Kandi DR and numerous numeric avenues, connects these landmark cemeteries to the productive fields and shores that have sustained the county for generations.
