About this map

Dorset sits at the heart of this Hubbard County landscape, defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and waterways. The town, once a regional hub for rail and commerce, is surrounded by significant water bodies such as Lake Belle Taine and Big Sand Lake. The terrain is marked by a dense concentration of smaller basins, including Boulder Lake, Peysenske Lake, and the winding course of the Sand River. This 2019 survey documents the modern layout of local transport, including Co HWY 18 and Co HWY 7, which connect the scattered lakeside properties and woodlands.

Local history is anchored by the presence of Henrietta Cem and Bethel Cem, which serve as permanent markers of early settlement families in Township 140N Range 34W and the surrounding sections. To the southeast, the geography transitions toward the Crow Wing chain, featuring Fifth Crow Wing Lake and the Crow Wing River. The map illustrates a landscape where seasonal recreation and permanent residence have integrated into the natural topography of the lake country.
