About this map

Jenkins sits at the heart of this Crow Wing County landscape, where the Pine River meanders toward the expansive Upper Whitefish Lake. The area is defined by its dense network of water bodies, including Upper Hay Lake, Lower Hay Lake, and the smaller Nelson Lake. Significant local history is preserved in the locations of the Clover Hill Sch, Norwood Cem, and the Jenkins Cem, reflecting the community's early layout before modern development intensified.

Transportation and infrastructure are captured through a dismantled rail line and several landing strips, alongside a public Boat Ramp and Town Hall. The 1990s revisions, shown in purple, highlight evolving woodland cover and suburban expansion near Breezy Point. This survey provides a clear view of the mid-century transition from a rural lake-district economy to a more recreation-focused landscape, while maintaining the precise locations of family-named features like Jokela Lake.
