2019 Map of Walker Lake

About this map

Otter Tail Lake and the expansive Dead Lake define this central Minnesota landscape, where intricate shorelines and interconnected waterways shaped the settlement patterns of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The small communities of Amor, Basswood, and Richville serve as local hubs, connected by a network of county highways and township roads. Notable for genealogists and local historians, the area preserves several burial sites including the Zion Lutheran Church Cem and the Oakwood Cem. A distinctive cultural landmark is the Otter Tail County Sanitarium Cem located south of Amor. The map reveals the complex hydrography of the region, tracing the Dead River as it links Amor Lake toward the larger basins, and highlighting secluded spots like Indian Bay and Lake Alice.
