2013 Map of Tilde Lake

About this map

The Clay and Becker county line bisects this landscape of glacial lakes and prairie streams in Western Minnesota. The northwestern corner of the quadrangle is anchored by the community of Ulen, where the terrain begins its transition from organized agricultural sections to a more undulating water-scarce environment. Dominating the central and southern portions of the map are the intricate wetlands and smaller water bodies surrounding Tilde Lake, which provide a contrast to the geometric grid of rural roads like 160th Ave N. The S Br Wild Rice River meanders across the northern half of the sheet, joined by Stiner Cr as it flows westward. For those researching local history, the Atlanta Cem serves as a lone landmark in the eastern agricultural fields, marking a point of interest for genealogists tracing families in this borderland between counties.
