2013 Map of Finlayson

About this map

Finlayson serves as the central hub of this northern pine country landscape, situated at the junction of MN-18 and Finlayson Rd. The town site features the local Po and the Finnish Cem, reflecting the area's ethnic heritage and settled roots. To the south, the community of Groningen sits along the road network near Skunk Cr, while the northwestern edge of Sandstone appears at the quadrangle's southeastern corner. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of glacial water bodies, including Little Pine Lake, Indian Lake, and Hellmans Lake, connected by a web of small drainages like Medicine Cr and the Pine River. This 2013 survey illustrates how modern residential roads like Koski Farm Rd and Matson Line Rd have woven through the lake-strewn landscape, maintaining the rural character established by earlier homesteads and agricultural clearings.
