About this map

Big Pine Lake and Nitche Lake dominate the northwestern landscape of this contemporary survey, where the glacial legacy of Minnesota's lake country remains clearly defined. The small settlement of Richdale sits along a major transportation corridor that cuts southeast toward the city limits of New York Mills. This area shows a transition from the large water bodies of the north to the managed wetlands of the Otter Tail County Waterfowl Production Area, reflecting modern conservation efforts in the region.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find several notable burial sites concentrated in the southeast, including Saint Peters Lutheran Cem and Greenwood Cem, as well as the Historic Pine Lake Cem further north. The map traces a complex network of county roads like Co Hwy 53 and local routes like Diamond Rd W, illustrating how the agricultural and residential layout of Otter Tail County is organized around the winding paths of Willow Creek and Elvis Creek.
