2013 Map of Willmert Lake

About this map

Willmert Lake and a series of interconnected glacial basins dominate this southern Martin County landscape along the Iowa-Minnesota border. The 2013 survey illustrates a region defined by its water management and agricultural heritage, where traditional farms like Neusch Farms and specialized operations such as Timberlake Orchards sit among a complex network of man-made drainage systems. Significant engineering is evident in the Judicial Ditch Number Ninetyeight and County Ditch Number Nine, which regulate the flow between major bodies like Amber Lake and N Silver Lake. Local history is anchored by several rural burial grounds including Oakwood Cem and Holy Family Catholic Cem, while recreation centers on the Dawsons Lakeside Campgrounds and the Rolling Green Fairways near the northern lakeshore.
