2016 Map of Pomme De Terre Lakes

About this map

Glacial depressions and watercourses define this portion of the Minnesota prairie, where the Pomme de Terre River and the Chippewa River carve through a landscape dotted with numerous lakes. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and township roads such as 150th St and County Road 70, framing a productive agricultural region along the border of Stevens and Pope counties. Notable water bodies including Swan Lake, Baker Lake, and N Pomme de Terre Lake are interspersed with smaller prairie potholes like Erickson Lake and Bjork Lake. Local heritage is anchored by several rural cemeteries, including Aeneas Lutheran Cem and Kirkegaarden Cem, which serve as physical markers of the Scandinavian and German immigrant communities that settled this lake country.
