1986 Map of Willmar

A significant portion of the terrain is dedicated to conservation, shown through an extensive network of National Waterfowl Production Areas and state-managed lands such as the Lac qui Parle State Wildlife Management Area. Local landmarks ranging from the heights of Mount Tom in Sibley State Park to the Benson Airport reflect the mix of recreational and civil infrastructure. Numerous lakes, including Lake Johanna and Norway Lake, highlight the area's characteristic post-glacial topography, providing a detailed look at the water-rich prairie before modern suburban expansion.
