About this map

Jenkins and Chickamaw Beach anchor this transition between the prairie and the deep lakes of north-central Minnesota. The landscape is defined by its massive water bodies, most notably Upper Hay Lake and its connection to Lower Hay Lake, as well as the northern reaches of Pequot Lakes. The hydrological network is dense, with Arvig Creek and the Pine River winding through the terrain toward the massive expanse of Upper Whitefish Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can find specific burial sites at Jenkins Cem and Norwood Cem, while the inclusion of Myers Field and a complex grid of residential and seasonal roads, such as Jokela Lake Dr SW and Shrike Trl SW, illustrate the late 20th-century development around these shorelines. The boundary between Cass Co and Crow Wing Co bisects the western half of the map, marking a significant political division in this lake-rich region.
