About this map

Burtrum and Grey Eagle serve as the primary settlement hubs in this lake-rich portion of Todd County. The landscape is dominated by glacial depressions that have formed an intricate network of water bodies, including the expansive Big Birch Lake to the south and Big Swan Lake in the northwest. Local history is anchored by several distinct burial grounds, such as the G A R Cemetery and Old Saint Marys Cemetery, which speak to the area's civic and religious heritage.

Elevated terrain features like The Mound and Eagle Mountain provide topographical contrast to the surrounding basins, with the latter hosting the Eagle Mountain Winter Recreation Area. The map also details early 21st-century residential developments along the waterfronts, specifically at North Shore and Pleasant Beach. A dense grid of county highways and local roads, such as Chippewa Rd and Cottonwood Dr, connects these lakeside communities and isolated farmsteads.
