About this map

The Knife River meanders through this portion of the Minnesota lake country, defining much of the drainage pattern across the Mille Lacs and Kanabec County line. This landscape is shaped by water management and wetland systems, featuring several localized reservoirs and pools such as Ernst Pool and the Louis Richards Reservoir. The presence of the Bergstedt Dam along the southern reaches of the river highlights 21st-century efforts to control water flow in this flat, marshy terrain. The area is gridded by a network of rural routes including Red Rd, Woods Rd, and Munkelwitz Rd, which provide access to the townships of t42n r25w and t41n r24w. This survey provides a clear view of how modern rural land divisions and township boundaries interact with the natural courses of the Little Ann River and its tributaries.
