About this map

The Crow-Wing River and Long Prairie River converge just south of Motley, defining the hydrography of this central Minnesota landscape. At this time, the village of Motley serves as a local hub, anchored by the Motley Post Office and the nearby Moreys Airport. The transition from riverine wetlands to higher ground is marked by features like the Lois Lake Bed and numerous smaller water bodies such as Toms Lake and Stones Lake.

Further south, the small settlement of Philbrook lies near the banks of the Long Prairie River. This area is notable for its rural cemeteries, including Motley Cemetery and Saint James Cemetery, which offer valuable points of reference for genealogical research. The southern portion of the quadrangle reaches toward larger recreational waters, showing the northern edges of Shamineau Lake and Lena Lake near Aztec Rd.
