About this map

Nevis serves as the central hub of this northern Minnesota landscape, where the Nevis Post Office and Nevis Airport anchor a region defined by its complex glacial hydrology. The area is dominated by the sprawling chain of the Crow Wing River, which connects a numbered series of water bodies including Tenth Crow Wing Lake, Ninth Crow Wing Lake, and Eighth Crow Wing Lake. Control of these waters is marked by the Crow Wing 8th Lake Dam, illustrating the managed nature of the local watershed.

Away from the river system, the terrain is dotted with isolated lakes such as Spider Lake and Lake Belle Taine, the latter of which hosts the Wildridge Resort and Campground. The presence of the Heartland Trl following an established corridor suggests the repurposing of older transportation routes for modern recreation. Genealogists may find value in the locations of Lakeview Cemetery and the more remote Lemon Cemetery situated in the southeastern corner.
