About this map

The glacial kettle lakes of Pope County dominate this landscape, which is defined by a dense network of water bodies and township roads. Named for local families and early settlers, features like Abrahamson Lake, Osterberg Lake, and Irgens Lake illustrate the high concentration of prairie wetlands in this part of Minnesota. The Chippewa River winds through the southwestern corner, cutting through the section lines that organize the rural grid. Cultural history is preserved at small burial sites throughout the township, including Pike Lake Cem in the north, Nora Cem centrally located near Co Hwy 26, and Saint John's Cem in the southeast. These cemeteries serve as important genealogical landmarks for the surrounding farming community.
