2019 Map of Patchen Lake

About this map

Patchen Lake and its surrounding wetlands dominate this landscape along the Grant and Stevens County line. This glacial prairie region is defined by a dense network of small water bodies and marshes, including Shauer Lake, Silver Lake, and Jones Lake to the north. The area maintains a strict section-line grid of rural roads, such as Co Hwy 35 and 177th St, which navigate around the numerous basins. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the Roseville Cem and Brennin Cem near the center of the quadrangle provides vital points of interest for tracing early families in this agricultural pocket of western Minnesota.
