2013 Map of Garrison

About this map

Mille Lacs Lake dominates the southeastern quadrant of this 2013 survey, its shoreline serving as a primary corridor for development and travel. The settlement of Garrison acts as a central hub where Us-169 and MN-18 intersect, supporting local commerce and tourism with features like the Garrison Golf Course and the Mille Lacs Lake Resort Airport. To the north and west, the landscape is defined by a dense network of smaller water bodies including Borden Lake, Bay Lake, and Big Pine Lake, many of which are lined with local roads like Woodland Beach Rd and Tarrymore Rd. Local history is preserved at the Garrison Cem and the Borden Lake Lookout Tower on Warren Hill, while smaller settlements such as Nichols and Cutler dot the northern reaches. This geography illustrates a modern transition from the open waters of the big lake to more secluded, residential lakeside environments.
