About this map

The city of Annandale serves as the focal point for this landscape, which is heavily defined by its numerous glacial lakes and intricate drainage systems. Large water bodies such as Clearwater Lake and Sugar Lake dominate the terrain, reflecting the region's character as a premier Minnesota lake country destination. The map documents the established grid of the town, including streets like Hemlock St E and Chestnut St E, alongside outlying areas where rural cemetery sites like Woodlawn Cem and Saint Mark's Cem provide important genealogical markers for local families.

Water management is a visible priority across the landscape, indicated by the presence of County Ditch Number Thirtyone and County Ditch Number Twenty, which channel water through the township lines of Stearns Co and Wright Co. The winding path of the Clearwater River connects smaller basins like Grass Lake and Pleasant Lake, illustrating the hydrologic connectivity of the area. This survey offers a detailed view of the infrastructure supporting both the lakeside residences and the surrounding agricultural community during the mid-2010s.
