2019 Map of New York Mills West

About this map

New York Mills anchors the southeastern corner of this Otter Tail County landscape, where the grain of the land reflects a dense network of sectional roads and glacial water bodies. The settlement of Richdale sits further northwest along the diagonal path of the railroad and Diamond Rd W, illustrating the classic development pattern of towns following transportation corridors. This area is significant for genealogists, as it preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Old Greenwood Cem, Greenwood Cem, and the Historic Pine Lake Cem located near the center of the quadrangle. The northern reaches are dominated by significant wetlands and water features such as Big Pine Lake and Nitche Lake, while the southern portion is drained by Willow Cr. The map details a transition from the structured residential blocks in the village to the expansive rural sections that define the region's agricultural character.
