2022 Map of Howard Lake

About this map

Howard Lake serves as the central focal point for this section of Wright County, where the eponymous town is situated along its southern and western shores. The landscape is defined by a dense concentration of glacial basins, including Milky Lake, Taylor Lake, and Doerfler Lake, many of which are connected by smaller tributaries like Twelvemile Cr. To the north, the North Fork Crow River cuts through the terrain, while the small settlement of Smith Lake sits to the west. This 2022 survey documents the local infrastructure of the modern era, showing the grid of rural roads such as 60th St SW and Lathrop Ave SW that separate the various townships. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, including Howard Lake Cem, Saint James Cem, and the smaller Reinmuth Cem located north of the main lake.
