2013 Map of Wintermute Lake

About this map

The glacial hydrology of Stevens County defines this landscape, where numerous basins and wetlands punctuate the prairie terrain. Wintermute Lake and the northern reaches of the Pomme de Terre Lakes, including N Pomme de Terre Lake, serve as the primary geographical anchors for this region just outside of Donnelly. The map illustrates a meticulously organized section-line road network, dominated by Us-59 running north-south and the diagonal route of MN-9 cutting across the southwestern corner. These arterial roads connect the scattered water bodies, such as the secluded Harstad Slough and the winding Twelvemile Cr, showing a rural environment where land use is dictated by the subtle elevation changes of the Minnesota plains. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the modern agricultural grid and the natural drainage patterns that have shaped local farming and settlement for generations.
