2023 Map of Jones

About this map

Glacial topography defines this corner of Cass County, where a dense concentration of kettle lakes and wetlands dictates the layout of local infrastructure. The settlement of Jones serves as a central hub, situated near Driskels Lake and Bair Lake, while the smaller hamlet of Wakelee sits to the northwest. Genealogists can identify several local burial grounds, including Poe Cem, Sand Hill Cem, and Lilly Lake Cem, which are scattered among the many water bodies. The landscape is punctuated by notable elevations such as Bald Hill and Mount Misery, providing a distinct contrast to the low-lying basins of Harwood Lake and Birch Lake. Evidence of early industry and transport is found in features like Streaters Mill Pond and the Keenum Airport, reflecting the evolution of this rural landscape from a mill-based economy to a modern residential and recreational area.
