About this map

Perham sits at the center of this 2019 survey, defined by its position between the substantial waters of Little Pine Lake and Big Pine Lake. The city's grid is dense with local history markers, including Saint Henry Cem, Saint Paul Cem, and Saint Stanislaus Cem, while the Perham Municipal Airport serves the region to the northwest. This landscape is a complex network of glacial lakes and wetlands, where the Otter Tail River winds through the eastern portion of the quadrangle.

In the southern reaches, the settlement of Richville and the Saint Lawrence Church Cem provide focal points for local genealogy. The map meticulously documents the hydrological connections between smaller bodies like Boedigheimer Lake, Rice Lake, and Rush Lake, illustrating how the early infrastructure was dictated by these natural boundaries. This document preserves the modern layout of Otter Tail County, from the residential clusters at Grand View Heights to the scattered rural cemeteries like Saint Joseph Cem.
