About this map

Mora anchors the southern edge of this Kanabec County landscape, where the Great Northern railroad and several major waterways converge. The sheet is defined by the expansive waters of Knife Lake and the winding courses of the Snake River and Knife River. Local social and civic centers are well-documented, including Hillman Ch, the Knife Lake Cem, and the Townhall located near the river's bend.

Conservation and recreation appear as significant land uses during the late 1960s, evidenced by the Whited State Wildlife Management Area and the Ann Lake State Wildlife Management Area. Cultural history is also noted at Indian Mounds Park on the eastern shore of Knife Lake. The drainage patterns of Bean Brook and Ann River reflect a complex glaciated terrain of low hills and wetlands, characteristic of this central Minnesota region.
