About this map

The village of Leonard serves as the focal point for this rural landscape in Clearwater County, situated near the headwaters of the Clearwater River. This 2013 survey reveals a geography defined by post-glacial features, including numerous kettle lakes like Nels Olson Lake, Stenlund Lake, and the distinctly named E Four Legged Lake. The area's community history is preserved in several burial grounds, including Norway Lake Cem and Dudley Cem, which are located near the southern marshlands.

Conservation efforts are evident at the Ferdi Johnson Wildlife Pond, while the land is drained by the winding course of Ruffy Brook. Local transportation centers on a grid of rural roads such as Leonard Rd and Co Hwy 14, which link the small settlement to the surrounding timber and farm country. The map provides a contemporary look at these legacy homesteads and water bodies that have shaped this northern Minnesota region for generations.
