About this map

Forest City sits at a bends of the North Fork Crow River, serving as the central hub for this portion of Meeker County. The landscape is a glaciated expanse defined by numerous small water bodies including Rohrbeck Lake, Rice Lake, and the connected waters of Richardson Lake and Dundas Lake. The social fabric of the late 1970s and early 1980s is reflected in several localized places of worship, such as St Gertrude Ch, St Matthews Ch, and the Ostmark Ch.

Agricultural and natural resource extraction is evident through several Gravel Pits scattered near the northern boundary. The southern reaches transition toward the township of Darwin, where North Buckley Lake and South Buckley Lake dominate the terrain. This map documents a stable rural community where public lake access points and community landmarks like Memorial Park were established parts of the local infrastructure.
