About this map

The settlement of Berner anchors this Clearwater County landscape, a region defined by its complex network of glacial lakes and slow-moving waterways. The Clearwater River winds through the northern sections, while smaller drainages like Butcher Knife Cr and Ruffy Brook cross the eastern plains. This topography is dominated by extensive wetlands, with numerous named basins such as Wilmoe Lake, Talgie Lake, and Waage Lake punctuating the grid of county roads.

Local history is preserved in sites like the United Lutheran Cem near the center of the quadrangle and Greenwood Cem in the southeast. The survey demonstrates the persistence of the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries like t150n r37w and t150n r38w providing the primary structure for the area's rural development. Transportation follows a strict cardinal-direction grid, with Co HWY 11 and Co HWY 111 serving as the primary connectors between these remote northern Minnesota communities.
