About this map

Red Lake Indian Reservation lands dominate the northeastern portion of this landscape, where the Clearwater River carves a winding path through the wetland-rich terrain. The area is defined by its intensive hydraulic management, evidenced by multiple Pumping Stations that regulate water levels across the low-lying glacial plains. The small settlement of Berner serves as a central point for the local community, which is divided into townships like Windsor, Greenwood, and Hangaard.

Family and community history is anchored by the United Lutheran Cem and Greenwood Cem, located near active Gravel Pits that suggest a landscape of local extraction. Numerous named bodies of water, including Wilmoe Lake, Talge Lake, and Waage Lake, are connected by a network of drainage features like Silver Creek and Butcher Creek, reflecting the complex intersection of natural hydrology and agricultural land use in the early 1970s.
