2013 Map of Baxter

About this map

The Mississippi River and Crow Wing River converge in the southern portion of this landscape, marking a historic junction where water transport shaped the early development of Crow Wing County. The map documents the residential expansion of Baxter and East Gull Lake, areas characterized by a dense network of suburban roads such as Cedar Scenic Rd and Crystal Rd N that weave between glacial water bodies including White Sand Lake and Rush Lake. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved here, from the Saint Francis Assisi Catholic Cem near the river to the specific Prosser Farm Site Cem further west. The proximity of the settlement at Barrows to Mine Lake points to the region's industrial ties, while the Little Pine Resort and Campground illustrates the area's long-standing role as a recreational destination in central Minnesota.
