About this map

The Mentor township and its surrounding lake district are defined by a high concentration of cemeteries and water bodies, reflecting a landscape long shaped by community and geography. This 2010 survey records the intricate shorelines of Maple Lake, Cable Lake, and Birch Lake, which dominate the southern half of the quadrangle. The settlement of Maple Bay sits along the southwestern edge of its namesake water, while the central town of Mentor houses the Mentor Post Office.

Genealogists will find this map particularly useful for its documentation of numerous burial grounds across the rural terrain, including Saint Lawrence Cemetery, Faith Cemetery, and the First English Lutheran Cemetery. The hydraulic engineering of the region is evident in landmarks like Judicial Ditch Number Sixtyfour and County Ditch Number Fourteen, which facilitate drainage through the flatlands surrounding Bakken Lake and Hitterdal Cemetery.
