About this map

The agricultural landscape of Clearbrook and Gonvick is defined by a dense network of township and county roads that intersect the glacial wetlands of Clearwater County. The presence of several distinct burial grounds, including Elim Cem and Augustana Cem near the northern edge of the map, and Maple Hill Cem further south, provides valuable points of reference for genealogical research in this rural Minnesota community.

The terrain is punctuated by numerous bodies of water like Steeherson Lake and Sterling Lake, which are linked by smaller waterways such as Silver Cr and Ruffy Brook. The settlement pattern follows the established grid of the Public Land Survey System, with local landmarks like N Railroad Ave in Clearbrook signaling the town's orientation to historic transportation corridors. Further out, the landscape is dotted with family-named features like Johnson Lake and Lindberg Lake, reflecting the local heritage and land use of the early 21st century.
