About this map

The town of Burtrum serves as a northern anchor in this lake-heavy landscape where Todd, Morrison, and Stearns Counties converge. The topography is defined by significant glacial features, notably the prominent rise of The Mound and the nearby Eagle Mountain Winter Recreation Area. Settlements like Grey Eagle and the waterfront communities of North Shore and Pleasant Beach illustrate the longstanding residential and recreational draw of these water bodies.

Genealogists will find a clear record of local heritage through multiple burial grounds, including the G A R Cem and Saint Peters Cem. The water network is particularly dense here, featuring the August Glockzin Reservoir and various family-named landmarks such as Schreiers Lake and Nellies Lake. Significant waterways like the N Two River wind through the southern sections, connecting the larger basins of Big Birch Lake and Big Swan Lake in a pattern that has dictated local travel and settlement for generations.
