About this map

The small settlement of Giese serves as the focal point for this rural landscape in Pine County, defined by a series of interconnected glacial lakes and managed water systems. The map illustrates the careful control of the local hydrography, featuring the Big Pine Lake Dam, Thomas Digman Dam, and Bald Eagle Lake Dam. These structures manage the flow through Big Pine Lake and Pine Lake, which are central to the area's geography.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of the Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery and the Wagner Township Cemetery. The region’s recreational character is evident through the Waldheim Resort Campground near the Big Pine Cutoff and the Grindstone Lake Seaplane Base on the shores of Grindstone Lake. The road network, including County Hwy-100 and County Hwy-143, links these remote water bodies, including Lake Eleven, Lake Twelve, and Thirteen Lake.
