2016 Map of High Forest

About this map

High Forest serves as the focal point of this rural landscape where the North Branch Root River and Robinson Cr converge. The terrain is defined by a deep-seated agricultural grid, marked by several prominent burial grounds that anchor the local history of the surrounding townships. These sites include High Forest Cem and Saint Johns Cem, alongside the Immanuel Lutheran Cem and Pleasant Valley Cem located further west. The map also captures the path of the N Br Root River as it flows toward Lake Florence in the northeast corner. In the southern portion, the headwaters of Carey Cr and N Fork Bear Cr drain the fields across the Olmsted and Mower County line, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns essential to this farming region.
