2010 Map of Stony Lake

About this map

Western Cemetery and the surrounding township terrain define this portion of Otter Tail County in the early 21st century. The landscape is characterized by a high density of small water bodies and glacial depressions typical of the region, including Stony Lake, Upper Lightning Lake, and Ash Lake. The Rabbit River meanders across the northwestern section, while a grid of rural routes like County Hwy-7 and County Hwy-26 connects scattered homesteads and agricultural tracts. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for several burial sites that anchor the community's history, most notably the Lawrence Presbyterian Church Cemetery and Hereford Cemetery. The layout of these roads and property boundaries reflects a long-established section-line system that has dictated land use in this part of Minnesota for generations.
