About this map

Parkers Prairie serves as the central hub of this Otter Tail County landscape, where the town grid meets a chain of glacial lakes and managed waterways. The settlement is flanked by several significant burial sites, including Parkers Prairie Cemetery and Saint Williams Cemetery, which provide essential points of reference for genealogical research in the area. To the north, the smaller settlement of Almora sits near the edge of the survey area, connected by a network of rural roads that navigate around features like Almora Lake and Curtis Lake.

Water management is a defining characteristic of the terrain, evidenced by the inclusion of County Ditch Number Nineteen and the winding course of the Wing River. The landscape is dotted with numerous small bodies of water, such as Horsehead Lake and Cora Lake, which illustrate the post-glacial topography of central Minnesota. Local recreation and community spaces are represented by Parkers Prairie Park, situated directly within the village limits.
