About this map

Pelican Rapids serves as the focal point of this Otter Tail County landscape, where the Pelican River flows through a series of significant glacial water bodies. The settlement's industrial roots are visible near the river at the E Mill, while its community infrastructure includes the Rotary Club Suspension Bridge. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of lakes, including the large Prairie Lake and Lake Lizzie, which have shaped the local road system and residential patterns.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial records across numerous denominational and community sites, such as Pelican Valley Cem, Bethel Cem, and the Central Swede Grove Lutheran Church Cem. The rural landscape is further marked by legacy agricultural and religious sites like Saint Leonards Catholic Church and Bagstevold Cem. This 2019 survey documents the modern layout of the Lake Region, including developed waterfronts along Lida Dr and Moonlight Bay Rd.
