2019 Map of Milaca NE

About this map

The Groundhouse River and its W Fork Groundhouse River wind through this part of the Mille Lacs and Kanabec county line, defining a landscape shaped by glacial hydrology and wetland ecology. In the northern reaches, Cranberry Lake and the Mikkelson Pool sit amidst a network of marshes, while the southern terrain is drained by the small Mike Drew Brook. The map reveals a transition between managed conservation lands and rural township development, with roads like Game Refuge Rd and St Forest Rd providing access to the more remote interior sections. This 2019 survey documents the modern road grid, including Cranberry Trl and Arctic Trl, reflecting how the contemporary community navigates this water-rich environment at the edge of the state forest lands.
