2013 Map of Union Lake

About this map

Union Lake and Lake Sarah dominate the landscape of this Polk County survey, reflecting the glacial topography of northwestern Minnesota. The area is defined by a dense network of smaller water bodies such as Crooked Lake, Maltrud Lake, and Rindahl Lake, alongside human interventions like County Ditch Number One Hundred Thirtythree. Family and community history is preserved in the placement of small rural burial grounds, including Union Lake Cem, Bailey Cem, and Lima Cem, which are situated near the section-line roads of Co HWY-41 and 380th ST Se. In the south, the Sand Hill River cuts across the terrain near Storelvedalen Cem. Recreational and private infrastructure, such as the Union Lake Sarah Campground and the Hemmingsen Private Airport, indicate how this lacustrine environment has been utilized for both public leisure and private access.
