2016 Map of Stony Lake

About this map

Western Church Cem and Lawrence Presbyterian Church Cem anchor the social landscape of this agricultural region on the border of Otter Tail and Grant counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial wetlands and water bodies, most notably the central Stony Lake and the meandering Rabbit River to the west. The map reveals a strict sectional grid of township roads, including Co Hwy 7 and Co Rd 26, which coordinate the movement of goods and people across the prairie. Small family and community landmarks like Hereford Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local lineage in this corner of Minnesota. The concentration of lakes such as Upper Lightning Lake and Ash Lake suggests a landscape where water management and seasonal shifts have long dictated the patterns of rural life and land use.
