About this map

Wintermute Lake and its surrounding prairie pothole wetlands anchor this section of Stevens County, Minnesota, as it appeared in the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by its glacial hydrology, with Pomme de Terre Lakes and Harstad Slough punctuating a highly organized agricultural grid. This topography is typical of the region, where natural drainages like Twelvemile Creek were long ago incorporated into a vast network of section-line roads and drainage basins.

A robust system of county thoroughfares, including County Hwy-76, County Hwy-20, and County Hwy-61, facilitates the transit of agricultural goods across the township. These routes provide clear spatial context for modern land ownership and the continued importance of water management in the rural Upper Midwest. The proximity of these landmarks to the community of Donnelly offers a clear view of the area's rural development and ecological layout.
