2016 Map of Fort Ripley

About this map

The Mississippi River defines the western edge of this central Minnesota landscape, where the settlement of Fort Ripley serves as a focal point near the confluence of the Nokasippi River. Moving east and north, the terrain is defined by a dense network of water bodies and wetlands, including Crow Wing Lake, Sebie Lake, and the winding Little Nokasippi River. The map documents established rural communities such as Saint Mathias and Lennox, which are connected by a grid of county roads and local connectors like Sleepy Hollow Road. For those tracing local heritage, several burial grounds are preserved across the quadrangle, including the Fort Ripley Cem, Saint Mathias Cem, Oak Hill Cem, and Pine Grove Cem, each marking the historical footprint of these small settlements within the watershed.
