2016 Map of Hinckley

About this map

Hinckley and the small settlement of Friesland anchor this Pine County landscape, where the Grindstone River and its branches define the drainage of the eastern Minnesota woods. The area reflects a history of both industry and local memory, evidenced by the cluster of cemeteries south of the town center, including Rose Hill Cem and Lutheran Memorial Cem. The transportation network is a mix of modern infrastructure and historical routes like Old Military Rd, while the aviation presence at Field of Dreams Airport and Bush Field shows the modern evolution of the rural township. Much of the northern terrain remains defined by low-lying wetlands and minor watercourses like Skunk Cr and the man-made Friesland Ditch, illustrating how the landscape was adapted for drainage and settlement during the 20th century.
