About this map

The Mille Lacs Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark on this landscape at the border of Mille Lacs and Kanabec counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries feeding the Groundhouse River, including the W Fork Groundhouse River and Mike Drew Brook. These waterways wind through a region largely dedicated to conservation and managed forestry, indicated by the extensive reach of Game Refuge Rd and St Forest Rd.

Small bodies of water like Cranberry Lake and Mikkelson Pool dot the northern reaches, while a grid of local routes such as Keystone Rd and Co Hwy-20 provide access to the rural interior. The map illustrates the late-twentieth and early-twenty-first-century infrastructure of this Central Minnesota transition zone, where the agricultural grid meets the protected woodlands of the Kanabec Forest Rd corridor.
