The New York Mills School District itself is large: encompassing approximately 183 square miles. It is located mostly in northwestern Otter Tail County but extends into a portion of southeast Becker County. The district extends approximately 16 miles north, 8 miles south, 9 miles east and 7 miles west from the school. Roughly three-fifths of the district is north and east of New York Mills and the U.S. Highway 10 corridor that traverses the district. The furthest corner of the district is roughly 17 bee-line miles north of the school in Evergreen Township in neighboring Becker County (Figure 21).
