The Pelican River flows through the heart of Pelican Rapids, anchoring a landscape defined by its glacial lakes and a high density of rural burial grounds. This 2016 survey documents a community deeply connected to its local heritage, with numerous family and parish cemeteries such as Bethel Cem, Bagstevold Cem, and the Saint Leonard's Catholic Church Cem situated along the surrounding section lines. The settlement pattern shows a concentration of infrastructure near the river, while the outskirts are dominated by water bodies like Lake Lizzie, Prairie Lake, and Fogelberg Lake. Local transit is facilitated by a network of county roads, including Co HWY 23 and Co HWY 4, which connect the town to the recreational shorelines of Lake View Cem and several newer residential developments like Moonlight Bay Rd.
