2019 Map of Pomme De Terre Lakes

About this map

Pomme de Terre Lakes define this glaciated landscape in western Minnesota, where the Pomme de Terre River and Chippewa River meander through a region of scattered prairie wetlands and small lakes. The terrain is characterized by a high density of water bodies, including North Pomme de Terre Lake, Swan Lake, and the adjacent North Baker Lake and Baker Lake. For local historians, the placement of rural burial grounds like Emmanuel Lutheran Cem and Seneas Lutheran Cem suggests the locations of early Scandinavian congregations. The county boundary between Stevens and Pope counties runs north-south through the eastern portion of the map, cutting through Otter Lake. The grid of township roads, including Co Hwy 3 and Lake Ave, provides access to these agricultural lands and secluded lakeshores, including Hanson Lake and Moore Lake in the southern sections.
