About this map

Jenkins serves as the primary hub of this Crow Wing County landscape, situated along the Northern Pacific railroad line near the western edge of a dense lake system. The settlement's layout is defined by the Village Boundary, which crosses between Cass and Crow Wing counties. This 1950s survey captures a transition in local infrastructure, with rural community landmarks like the Clover Hill Sch and the Whitefish Gospel Tabernacle appearing alongside industrial markers such as a Gravel Pit.

The hydrography of the region is notably complex, dominated by the expansive Upper Whitefish Lake and the connected waters of Lower Hay Lake and Upper Hay Lake. Small rural burial grounds, including Jenkins Cem and Norwood Cem, provide essential data points for genealogists tracing families in the townships of Gail Lake, Ideal, and Timothy. The winding path of the Pine River and various creeks like Arvig Creek highlight the natural drainage patterns that have shaped land use and local development for decades.
