About this map

Merrifield and the surrounding lake country of Crow Wing County are intricately detailed in this 2022 survey, showcasing the complex interface of wetlands, waterways, and growing residential footprints. The landscape is dominated by large basins like North Long Lake and Lake Edward, connected by a network of smaller bodies including Gladstone Lake, Mollie Lake, and Crystal Lake. The Mississippi River winds through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, flanked by the Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport and the northern reaches of Brainerd and Baxter.

Transportation and recreation routes such as the Paul Bunyan State Trail cut through the timber and marshlands, linking the settlements of Legionville and Merrifield. Local history is preserved at Edward Cem near the northern border and the modern Evergreen Memorial Gardens. The map provides a clear look at how the regional economy, tied to both the river and the recreational lakes, has shaped the platting of roads like County Road 127 and Legionville Road.
