About this map

The village of Hillman anchors this portion of Morrison County, where the local post office and Saint Rita Cem serve as focal points for the rural community. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Skunk River, which bisects the quadrangle as it flows south toward several smaller tributaries including Hillman Cr and Little Mink Cr. To the north, the elevation rises toward the Sullivan Lake Lookout Tower, a significant regional landmark situated near Peavy Lake.

A network of gridded section roads, such as MN-27 and 370th Ave, connects the scattered farmsteads and rural residences. Genealogists may find interest in the documented locations of local burial grounds, including Pine Tree Cem located west of the river. The presence of Mud Lake and surrounding lowlands illustrates the typical glacial geography of central Minnesota, with large tracts of undeveloped terrain interspersed with family-held land parcels.
