2016 Map of Burtrum

About this map

Burtrum and Grey Eagle anchor this central Minnesota landscape, a region defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The topography is marked by distinctive elevations such as The Mound and Eagle Mtn, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle are dominated by the extensive waters of Big Birch Lake. Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds across the rural townships, including the G A R Cem and Old Saint Marys Cem. The settlement pattern follows the lakefronts, with North Shore and Pleasant Beach highlighting the area's development as a destination for recreation and seasonal residence. Movement through the county is traced along corridors like Co RD 33 and Stearns Line Rd, which bridge the divisions between Todd, Morrison, and Stearns counties.
