About this map

Kingston sits at the heart of this landscape, established along the southern banks of the North Fork Crow River. The area is defined by a dense concentration of burial grounds reflecting a long-standing rural community structure, including the North Kingston Cemetery, Riverside Cemetery, and Redeemer Cemetery. The terrain is characterized by numerous water bodies that shaped local life and recreation, from the expansive Lake Francis in the northeast to the cluster of lakes in the south including Big Swan Lake, Swan Lake, and Little Swan Lake.

Tracing the historical infrastructure reveals a network of county roads and CSAH routes that connect these various lakes and early settlements. Notable drainage projects like Judicial Ditch Number Two indicate the transformation of the wetlands for agricultural use. Small-scale tourism and seasonal residency are evident at the Kramers Family Resort Campground, illustrating how the region's natural hydrography remained a focal point for the community through the early 21st century.
