2013 Map of Parkers Prairie NW

About this map

Glacial depressions and small basins define this portion of Otter Tail County, where numerous water bodies like Nelson Lake and Lake Sixteen are interspersed with a rigid grid of township roads. The landscape reflects a deeply established agricultural and rural community, evidenced by the presence of the Folden Cem in the north and the N Effington Cem further south. Secondary highways such as MN-235 and Co HWY-40 provide the primary transit corridors through the undulating terrain. Local roads like Norwegian Rd and Snow Lake Rd hint at the cultural heritage and geographical landmarks of the area. The dense concentration of named lakes, including Tess Lake, Block Lake, and Fish Lake, illustrates the complex hydrography typical of this Minnesota region, while the small cemetery sites offer significant points of interest for genealogical research and local history studies.
