About this map

The Nokasippi River meanders across this rural landscape at the border of Crow Wing and Morrison Counties, defining a region of extensive wetlands and scattered glacial lakes. Near the northern boundary, the Riverside Cem and Hagen-Arnestad Cem serve as quiet landmarks for local genealogists tracing the area's farming families. The terrain is a complex network of water bodies, from the narrow passage of the Little Nokasippi River to the broad expanse of the Black Brook Swamp in the southeast.

Evidence of the 19th-century Public Land Survey System remains clearly visible in the rigid grid of county roads, such as Saint Mathias Rd and 90th Ave, which cut through the natural drainage patterns of Sewells Pond and Mud Lake. The map details a transition between smaller kettle lakes like Fuchs Lake and larger basins such as Lodemier Lake, illustrating the post-glacial topography of central Minnesota.
