2019 Map of Phelps

About this map

Maine and the small settlement of Phelps anchor this landscape of the glacial lake country in Otter Tail County. The area is defined by a dense network of water bodies, most notably the expansive Dead Lake and Pickerel Lake, which are connected by the winding course of the Dead River. This 2019 survey documents a region where the natural hydrography shaped early development, evidenced by the location of the Phelps Mill Bridge along the Otter Tail River. Genealogists and local researchers will find significant landmarks such as the Saint James Catholic Church Cem and Silent Vale Cem, which serve as physical links to the community's heritage. The map also traces modern thoroughfares like Co Hwy 74 and Brightwood Shore Dr as they navigate the irregular shorelines of Star Lake, Round Lake, and Twin Lakes.
