About this map

Lake Minnewaska and Pelican Lake dominate this Pope County landscape, anchoring a region defined by its dense network of glacial lakes and lakeside communities. In the southern portion of the map, the city of Glenwood serves as a primary hub, flanked by the residential developments of Long Beach and Bonanza Valley along the northeastern shore of the lake. The terrain is marked by intricate water systems, including Trappers Run and various judicial ditches that connect smaller bodies of water like Lair Lake and John Lake.

Cultural and genealogical landmarks are abundant, reflecting the area's settled history through numerous cemeteries such as Saint John's Cem and the Swedish Mission Cem. A unique historical point of interest is the Chief White Bear Grave, located near the northern tip of Pelican Lake. The map illustrates a developed transition from the urban grid of Glenwood to the resort-inflected shorelines of Woodland Point and Eagles Point.
