About this map

The Crow Wing River snakes through this rural Minnesota landscape, defining the character of the region with its intricate loops and features like the Kossila Oxbow. To the southeast, the small settlement of Nimrod sits near the confluence where the Cat River joins the larger waterway. The land is a mix of wetlands and woods, evidenced by the broad Wire Grass Meadow and several small water bodies including Rice Lake, Mud Lake, and Yaeger Lake, the latter of which is managed by the Yaeger Lake Dam.

Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by the Finnish Cemetery located along County Hwy-14 in the western half of the quadrangle. For those tracking early infrastructure and recreation, the map documents the Mary Brown Bridge crossing and established sites like the Huntersville Forest Campground. The grid of county roads and township highways reveals a sparsely populated agricultural and forest-fringe area typical of central Minnesota at the start of the twenty-first century.
