2022 Map of Kroschel

About this map

The settlement of Kroschel sits at a crossroads in this lake-strewn portion of the upper Midwest, where the boundary between Kanabec and Pine Counties divides the landscape. This region is defined by its complex hydrography, featuring numerous small wetlands and significant water bodies like Grindstone Lake and the smaller Featherbed Lake. The terrain is drained by meandering watercourses including the S Br Grindstone River and Pokegama Cr, which cut through a grid of rural roads named for early settlers and local landmarks. To the north, Trinity Cem remains a primary genealogical marker for the surrounding rural community. The map reveals a transition from the structured township system of t42n r22w into the natural, marshy drainage basins that characterize this part of Minnesota.
