2019 Map of Wendell

About this map

The Mustinka River meanders diagonally through this section of the Minnesota prairie, providing a natural break in the highly regular township-and-range grid. The village of Wendell serves as the primary hub for the surrounding agricultural community, situated near several significant glacial water bodies. To the north and west, the landscape is dotted with numerous basins, including Lightning Lake, Pletan Lake, and Stony Brook Lake, which reflect the area's geological history. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies significant sites such as the Rock Prairie Cem and Trinity Lutheran Cem, both situated along the rural gravel roads that partition the farmland. The presence of Brutlag Farms Airport south of town indicates the ongoing intersection of modern infrastructure with the region's deep agricultural roots along the border of Otter Tail and Grant Counties.
