About this map

Dassel serves as the central hub of this Meeker County landscape, where the Dassel Post Office and residential areas like West View Terrace mark a settled agricultural and lakefront community. The terrain is defined by a series of significant water bodies, including the expansive Lake Washington to the west and the southern Lake Jennie, which is overlooked by the Lake Jennie Cemetery. A network of numbered avenues and streets grids the countryside, connecting small settlements like Jennie to the primary town center.

Genealogists will find interest in the scattered burial grounds that record the area's early families, such as the Steelsville Cemetery and the Pioneer County Cemetery. To the north, Lakedale Campground and Spring Lake suggest a long-standing tradition of recreation amidst the drainage basins of Silver Creek and Washington Creek. The presence of the Collinwood Lake Dam on Collinwood Lake further illustrates the management of the local hydrology for this prairie-pothole region.
