About this map

St Mathias and Daggett Brook define the central character of this Crow Wing County landscape, where small rural settlements are interconnected by a dense network of timber and wetlands. The Nokasippi River and its tributary, the Little Nokasippi River, meander through the terrain, feeding numerous named water bodies including Round Lake, Fuchs Lake, and Lodemier Lake. These waterways served as the foundational infrastructure for early development in the townships of Ripley and Platte.

Cultural landmarks are scattered throughout the region, such as the Riverside Union Ch near Sewells Pond and the Daggett Lookout Tower, which underscores the importance of forestry management in this part of Minnesota during the late 1970s. Aviation and industry also leave their mark with the Kohl Landing Strip and various Gravel Pits, showing a transition from purely agricultural and timber pursuits toward more diverse land use.
