1978 Map of Burtrum
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
The borderlands of Todd, Stearns, and Morrison counties are defined by a complex glacial landscape of interconnected wetlands and lakes. In the late 1970s, the village of Grey Eagle served as a primary hub west of Big Birch Lake, while the smaller settlement of Burtrum anchored the northern section of the map near Big Swan Lake. The area is notably dense with conservation lands, including the Oak Ridge State Wildlife Management Area and the National Waterfowl Production Area, reflecting the region's importance for migratory birds and local ecology. For genealogists, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds such as the G A R Cem and Old St Marys Cem, alongside established lakeside communities like North Shore and Pleasant Beach. The terrain is punctuated by landmarks such as Eagle Mountain and Hill Lake, illustrating the varied elevations between the countless water bodies like Mound Lake and Cedar Lake.
