2013 Map of Patchen Lake

About this map

The glacial prairie landscape of central Minnesota is defined by small lakes and a rigid section-line road network at the southern edge of Grant County. Landmarks such as Roseville Cem and Brennin Cem provide essential anchor points for genealogists and local historians tracking early settlement families. The terrain is dotted with several significant water bodies, most notably Patchen Lake and Shauer Lake, which sit amidst a grid of township roads including Twp Hwy 41 and Twp Hwy 181. The southern border of this area is marked by Stevens Co Line Rd, separating it from the neighboring county. Transportation corridors such as Us-59 and MN-27 intersect the region, reflecting the agricultural transit patterns that have persisted for generations.
