About this map

Little Falls serves as the focal point for this survey, positioned where the Mississippi River creates a natural corridor through Morrison County. The town's civic core is well-defined, showing the City Hall, Library, and Courthouse near the riverbanks. Educational and religious institutions are particularly dense here, including the Charles A Lindbergh Sch and St Marys Ch, alongside several cemeteries like Calvary Cem and St Adalberts Cem that provide valuable data for genealogists.

Beyond the urban center, the landscape transitions into a mix of wetlands and management areas. The Popple Lake State Wildlife Management Area and Rice-Skunk Lake State Wildlife Management Area dominate the eastern and central sections, while the Burlington Northern railroad line runs parallel to the river. Further south, the confluence of the Swan River and the Mississippi near Zebulon Pike Lake illustrates the hydraulic complexity of the region before it reaches Vawter.
