About this map

The Mississippi River defines the western edge of this central Minnesota landscape, where the town of Fort Ripley sits at the junction of MN-371 and local routes. This area is characterized by a dense network of water bodies and wetlands, including the sprawling Crow Wing Lake and the meandering course of the Nokasippi River. Small settlements such as Saint Mathias and Lennox provide points of interest for genealogists, as do several local burial grounds like Ft Ripley Cem, Saint Mathias Cem, and Oak Hill Cem.

The landscape is marked by numerous small lakes and ponds, from Sebie Lake to Michaels Lake, interspersed with rural infrastructure. Recreation and community hubs are noted by features like Don and Mayva's Campground and Pine Grove Cem. The boundary between Morrison County and Crow Wing County cuts across the southern portion of the sheet, dividing a region defined by its complex hydrography and river valleys.
