About this map

The Crow Wing River winds through this section of Wadena County, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and scattered rural landmarks. Near the northern boundary, Huntersville Cemetery provides a focal point for local genealogy, situated just east of Burgen Lake. The river's path is marked by historical crossing points and modern recreation sites, including Sweeney Ford and the Frames Landing Campground further downstream.

A complex drainage system of tributaries, such as Big Swamp Creek and Little Swamp Creek, feeds into the main river channel, illustrating the hydrologic character of this Minnesota terrain. Human management of these waters is evident at Crackel Dam. The map's grid of section roads, including Huntersville Rd and Cass Line Rd, shows the enduring township-and-range settlement pattern of the region as it appeared in the early 21st century.
