2022 Map of Hillman SE

About this map

Johnsdale stands as the primary settlement within this central Minnesota landscape, where the boundary between Morrison and Mille Lacs counties divides a terrain defined by extensive wetlands and watercourses. The northern reaches are shaped by the Rum River and Skunk River, while the N Fork Bradbury Brook and Hillman Creek drain the southern sections. This area reflects a shift from historical transport to modern recreation, most notably where the former rail corridor has been repurposed into the Soo Line South: Mille Lacs Trail and Soo Line South: Morrison Trail. The presence of the North Star Ranch Airport indicates the localized aviation infrastructure serving this rural region. The map provides a look at the modern land use patterns, showing how the grid of section lines and county roads interacts with the natural hydrology of Skunk Lake and its surrounding marshes.
