About this map

The Mississippi River and the Crow Wing River converge at the southern boundary of this region, shaping a landscape defined by glacial lakes and riverine wetlands. The city of Baxter serves as a central hub, where the BNSF Railway corridor runs alongside modern roadways like Foley Rd S. North of the city, the terrain is characterized by a dense network of water bodies, including Upper Whipple Lake, White Sand Lake, and Red Sand Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can find several significant burial sites across the quadrangle, from the Baxter Cem near the city center to the Saint Francis Assisi Catholic Cem further south. The map also documents the transition from urbanized areas to the outlying settlements of East Gull Lake and Barrows, alongside historical markers like the Prosser Farm Site Cem near the Morrison County line.
