About this map

The Mustinka River and its associated Mustinka Flowage define the northern hydrology of this prairie landscape, where the border between Grant Co and Stevens Co cuts across a dense network of glacial basins. The region is characterized by an extensive collection of water bodies, ranging from the prominent Niemackl Lakes to smaller features like Doughty Lake and Werk Lake. Evidence of shifting water levels is seen at the Hazzard Lakebed, while drainage patterns are further marked by Keitzman Slough and Sherstad Slough.

Cultural and genealogical sites are scattered among the section lines, including Lakeside Cem near Lakeside Lake and Saint Charles Cem further south. The Niemackl Lake Park Campground serves as a modern landmark in an area otherwise dominated by agriculture and township roads. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the rural township grid, tracing routes like MN-27 and MN-9 as they connect these scattered lakeside landmarks.
