2010 Map of Pomme De Terre Lakes

About this map

The Pomme de Terre River and Chippewa River define the hydraulic landscape of Stevens County, carving through a glaciated terrain densely pocketed with prairie lakes. At the center of this 2010 survey, the Pomme de Terre Lakes are regulated by the Perkins Lake Dam, illustrating the managed water systems of modern Minnesota. The settlement pattern remains oriented toward the sectional grid, where small rural landmarks serve as the primary points of community history. Scattered across the landscape are several denominational burial grounds, including the Emmanuel Lutheran Cemetery and Kirkegaarden Cemetery, which anchor the area's genealogical record. From the northern reaches of Erickson Lake to the southern shores of Hanson Lake, the map documents a transition from agricultural fields to protected riparian corridors.
