About this map

The settlement of Callaway stands as a primary hub in this lake-rich portion of Becker County, defined by a grid of streets including Manitoba St, Wisconsin St, and Minnesota St. The surrounding landscape is dominated by a dense concentration of glacial basins, ranging from the larger Gandrud Lake and Grimsgard Lake to the south towards Kennedy Lake and Wheeler Lake. These water bodies are interspersed with rural homesteads and agricultural tracts connected by a strictly oriented section-line road network.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites throughout the township, such as Saint Marys Cem north of town, Richwood Cem near the center, and Upsala Cem to the east. The Buffalo River cuts through the northeast corner, while the small community of Westbury marks a secondary point of settlement along the north-south transit corridor. This map documents a region where the natural hydrology of the Minnesota lake country dictates the placement of roads and farmsteads.
