About this map

Clearbrook and Gonvick serve as the primary hubs in this agricultural and wetland landscape of Clearwater County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and watercourses, including Klongerbo Lake, Erie Lake, and the winding path of Silver Cr. These water bodies are interspersed with numerous smaller wetlands, illustrating the post-glacial topography of northern Minnesota.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds that mark the heritage of early settlers, such as Elim Cem, Augustana Cem, and Maple Hill Cem located near the elevation of Maple Hill. The transportation network is a grid of county roads and township lines, such as Clearwater Co Rd 9 and Leonard Rd, which connect isolated farmsteads to the central townships. The drainage patterns of Ruffy Brook and other smaller tributaries further highlight the rural character of the area.
