About this map

The Mississippi River winds through a landscape defined by glacial lakes and low-lying wetlands along the border of Crow Wing and Aitkin counties. This area is characterized by scattered small settlements like Iron Hub and Pine Knoll, where rural roads like Paddy Ave and Sullivan Lake Rd connect isolated homesteads and cemeteries. The map reveals a high density of small burial grounds that serve these rural communities, including Cedarbrook - Saint John's Lutheran Cem and Immanuel Cem.

Water dominates the terrain, from the larger Cedar Lake and Nelson Lake to the uniquely named Poor-Farm Lake. The presence of Grape Island within the marshy expanses near the river suggests slightly higher ground amid the surrounding saturation. This 2016 survey documents the modern layout of secondary highways such as Co Hwy 22 and Co Hwy 30 as they navigate the intricate network of creeks and lake basins.
