About this map

The Mississippi River carves a winding boundary between Sherburne and Wright counties, serving as the central geographic feature of this mid-2010s landscape. On the southern bank, the city of Monticello shows its modern street grid and infrastructure, while across the river to the northeast, the community of Big Lake is defined by its namesake water body and Lake Mitchell. The map detail allows for a close study of local landmarks, including several burial grounds such as Hillside Cem, Riverside Cem, and Saint Henrys Cem.

North of the river, the settlement of Salida and numerous smaller lakes like Thompson Lake and Wood Lake dot the glaciated terrain. To the south, the landscape is punctuated by Bertram Lake, Long Lake, and North Lake. This document captures the transition of the corridor from established river towns to expanded suburban and rural residential patterns, connected by a dense network of county roads like Co Rd 75 NE and Co Rd 39 NE.
