2010 Map of Spicer

About this map

Green Lake and Nest Lake anchor the northern landscape of this region, which is defined by its glacial hydrology and established lakeside communities. The town of Spicer sits at the narrow passage between these two water bodies, serving as a hub for local residents and visitors to the Decision Hills Camp and Green Lake Camp. To the south, the village of Kandiyohi marks the path of the southern rail and road corridor, situated amidst a dense network of smaller basins including Burr Oak Lake and Eagle Lake. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, such as the Spicer Family Cemetery, Green Lake Lutheran Cemetery, and Saint Patrick Cemetery, reflecting the long-standing agricultural and community roots in the area. The presence of the Elkhorn Lake Rearing Pond Dam near Elkhorn Lake highlights the local focus on lake management and regional conservation efforts.
