About this map

Green Lake and Nest Lake anchor the northern landscape of this region, where the town of Spicer serves as a lakeside hub. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of water bodies including Eagle Lake, Elkhorn Lake, and the expansive Alvig Slough, reflecting the glacial legacy of Kandiyohi County. To the south, the settlement of Kandiyohi sits along a straight corridor of transportation and agriculture, centered near Pacific Ave and McLaughlin Ave.

For those researching family history, several prominent burial sites are documented throughout the township, including the Spicer Family Cem, Green Lake Lutheran Cem, and Saint Patrick Cem. The transition from the developed lakeshores around Spicer to the grid-patterned farmland surrounding Bur Oak Lake illustrates the dual identity of this area as both a recreational destination and a productive agricultural prairie. Small local landmarks like Gina Lake and E-Woodcock Lake provide specific points of reference for tracing property boundaries and local developments.
