Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lands of the Northern Pacific Railroad Lands in Minnesota Beginning at the Mississippi, and moving west, we see that the land in the Vicinity of the river, and for a distance of twenty miles along the northern bank of the Crow Wing River, is a sandy loam; the growth consisting of maple, elm, oak, and pine. Crossing the Crow Wing, the surface becomes undulating and, While the forest is not dense, there is a large amount of timber. Ottertail County occupies the centre of this second division. Ottertail City situated about fifteen miles south of the line of the railroad, is the county-seat, and was settled many years ago by the N orth-western Fur Company: so that the capabilities of the soil are well known. It is a sandy loam, warm, quick, and easy of cultivation. Corn ripens in August. Oats, potatoes, and rye give large returns; and, though the yield of wheat in this county is below7 the average in the State, it is higher than the average in Ohio or Iowa.
