2013 Map of Mount Tom

About this map

Mount Tom rises as a prominent landmark in this lake-dominated region of Kandiyohi County, anchoring a landscape shaped by glacial depressions and contemporary agricultural drainage. The area is defined by an intricate network of water bodies, including the large basins of Norway Lake, Games Lake, and Andrew Lake, which are connected by a system of rural roads and state highways like MN-9. The agricultural character of the region is evident in the managed waterways of County Ditch Number 8 Three and County Ditch Number 8 Four, which facilitate drainage across the undulating terrain. Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites preserved across the townships, including Colfax Cem in the northwest and Lake Florida Cem near the shores of Lake Florida. The presence of Sibley Park Rd near the central lakes indicates the area's long-standing role in regional recreation and conservation.
