About this map

The Mississippi River meanders through the heart of the Chippewa National Forest, defining the winding boundary between Itasca Co and Cass Co. This aquatic landscape is dominated by the expansive Ball Club Lake and the southern reaches of Mud Lake, connected by a network of waterways including the Ball Club River, Leech Lake River, and Snake Creek. The settlement of Ball Club serves as the central hub, situated where US Hwy 2 crosses the landscape.

Genealogists and local historians can find several significant burial sites throughout the township, including the Lindenwood-Independent Apostolic Lutheran Cem, Saint Joseph Cem, and the family-named Tibbets Cem and Mary Donald Cem. The map detail shows the intricate hydrology of the region, from the Snake Brook-Impoundment to the secluded Peggy Brook, illustrating the preserved wilderness and seasonal water levels characteristic of north-central Minnesota.
