About this map

Jenkins serves as the focal point of this late 1950s landscape, situated along the Northern Pacific railroad line near the junction of Cass and Crow Wing counties. The village is surrounded by a dense network of water bodies, including Upper Hay Lake, Lower Hay Lake, and the expansive Upper Whitefish Lake to the east. The map illustrates a rural community supported by local institutions such as the Town Hall, Clover Hill School, and the Whitefish Gospel Tabernacle.

Land use patterns are clearly defined by the Crow Wing State Forest and various township divisions like Ideal and Barclay. Cultural landmarks including Jenkins Cemetery and Norwood Cemetery provide valuable points of interest for genealogical research. The winding course of the Pine River and smaller tributaries like Hay Creek and Arvig Creek highlight the glacial hydrology that characterizes this central Minnesota region.
