2019 Map of Burgen Lake

About this map

The Nimrod settlement and the surrounding marshy lowlands of the Upper Midwest are captured here, centered on the winding path of the Crow Wing River. This drainage network is defined by slow-moving water and significant wetlands, including Big Swamp Cr and Little Swamp Cr, which feed into the main river channel. Navigational challenges along the river are marked by Barrows Rapids and Weston Rapids, suggesting the river's historical importance for transit through these flat timberlands. The landscape is organized by a grid of county roads and section lines, with Huntersville Cem serving as a local landmark for genealogical research. The map illustrates the boundary between Wadena Co and Cass Co, showing how the land is divided across township and range lines in this part of central Minnesota.
