About this map

Little Kandiyohi Lake and its neighboring basins form a dense hydrographic network across this portion of Kandiyohi County. The landscape is defined by the hydrologic connections of the S Fork Crow River and the Big Kandiyohi Channel, which link larger bodies of water such as Lake Wakanda and Big Kandiyohi Lake. This complex wetland environment is managed through an extensive system of drainage infrastructure, including County Ditch Number Twentythree A and County Ditch Number Sixtyfour.

Settlement patterns are evidenced by several rural burial grounds that serve as focal points for local history. Genealogists can locate Old Baptist Cem, Tripolis Cem, Oak Hill Cem, and Bethesda Cem, which are distributed among the lakeside townships. The grid of rural routes, including Willmar Ave SE and Co Hwy 19, provides a clear view of the agricultural and residential development surrounding smaller water features like Swan Lake and Lake Eleanor.
