About this map

The Otter Tail River winds through this lake-rich landscape in central Minnesota, connecting several major water bodies including Little Pine Lake and Big Pine Lake. The city of Perham serves as the central hub, characterized by a dense grid of streets and the expansive Perham Fairgrounds on its eastern edge. Water management is evident through the placement of the Little Pine Lake Dam and the Pine Lake Big Dam, which regulate the river's flow through the lake chain.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of religious and municipal burial grounds, such as Saint Henry Cemetery, Saint Stanislaus Cemetery, and Saint Paul Cemetery, many clustered near the town center. The surrounding rural landscape is dotted with smaller water bodies like Boedigheimer Lake and Schuster Lake, while aviation needs are met by the Perham Municipal Airport and the smaller Hagen Airport to the south. The settlement patterns extend to residential developments like Pine Cone Court and Grand View Heights along the lakefronts.
