About this map

The Mississippi River snakes through the center of this landscape, forming the border between Crow Wing and Aitkin Counties as it meanders eastward. This riverine corridor is a focal point for modern recreation and historical transit, marked by the Mississippi River Trail and Mississippi River Drive. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial water bodies, including the sprawling Cedar Lake to the south and Nelson Lake to the north.

Genealogists will find several distinct burial sites across the townships, such as Saint Johns Lutheran Cemetery and the Pine Knoll Cemetery near the settlement of Pine Knoll. A notable local landmark is Poor Farm Lake, a name that hints at the social history of the region's early county institutions. The map also detail the intricate drainage of Cedar Creek and Dean Brook, illustrating the complex hydrology of this Minnesota lake country.
