About this map

Leonard serves as the primary settlement on this northern Minnesota sheet, situated amidst a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands in Clearwater County. The landscape is defined by its numerous water bodies, ranging from the sizeable West Four Legged Lake in the south to Johnson Lake and Spike Lake further north. The Clearwater River and Ruffy Brook provide the primary drainage through this low-lying terrain, which is intersected by a grid of local township and county roads such as Leonard Rd and Co Hwy 4.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of community landmarks. The map documents several burying grounds, including Friendship Cem, Norway Lake Cem, and the Seljord Lutheran Church Cem. The presence of the East Seljord Or Westby Cem and Dudley Township Cem reflects the early township-based organization of this rural region, while N Railroad St in Leonard points to the area's historical transportation infrastructure.
