2010 Map of Clear Lake

About this map

The Mississippi River defines the southwestern edge of this landscape, carving a wide path through Sherburne County just as it enters its stretch toward the Twin Cities. This 2010 survey highlights a region defined by its glacial hydrology, where clusters of water bodies like Briggs Lake, Elk Lake, and Mosford Lake occupy the terrain north of the river. The small settlements of Clear Lake and Becker anchor the transport corridor, connected by the diagonal sweep of highway and rail lines that parallel the river's course. Local infrastructure is noted by the Clear Lake Post Office and the Leaders Clear Lake Airport, which sits just northeast of the town center. Further east, the Elk River meanders toward its namesake town, while recreational spaces such as Riverwood RV Park take advantage of the waterfront proximity near Prairie Lake.
