About this map

Grove Lake and Whisky Lake anchor the southern reaches of this landscape where the boundaries of Clay, Becker, and Otter Tail counties converge. The glacial topography of the region is evident in the dense cluster of water bodies, including Tansem Lake, Ranum Lake, and Solem Lake, which define the local drainage patterns along Whisky Cr. The small community of Rollag sits in the northwest corner, serving as a focal point alongside the settlement of Tansem.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several traditional burial sites that mark the area's pioneer heritage, such as Grong Lutheran Cem, Bethany Cem, and Aspelund Cem. The presence of Coot Landing Airport near MN-32 indicates the continued utility of the land for regional transport, while the surrounding grid of section roads like 120th ST and 170th Ave S provides a clear view of the rural township structure. The map captures a transition where the lakeland of the east meets the structured agricultural plots of western Minnesota.
