2022 Map of Baxter

About this map

The Mississippi River and Crow Wing River converge at the southern edge of this map, marking a landscape defined by significant water bodies and historic transitions. The city of Baxter serves as a central hub, surrounded by a dense network of lakes including White Sand Lake, Upper Whipple Lake, and Red Sand Lake. This modern-era survey provides valuable data for genealogists and local historians through the identification of several specific burial grounds, such as the Gull River Cem and the Prosser Farm Site Cem. The presence of the Saint John Holy Cross Episcopal Cem and Saint Francis Assisi Catholic Cem reflects the established community roots near the river junction. Further south, the settlement of Crow Wing sits near the tri-county boundary where Cass, Morrison, and Crow Wing counties meet, illustrating the region's complex administrative geography and its enduring relationship with the river systems.
