About this map

The Crow Wing River snakes southward through the center of this landscape, its path marked by distinctive natural features like Kossila Oxbow and the Wire Grass Meadow. The settlement of Nimrod anchors the southeastern corner, where the river meets the Cat River and follows a network of local roads including Co Rd 12. This area of Wadena County shows a transition between dense wetlands and agricultural divisions, with several named water bodies such as Yaeger Lake, Rice Lake, and Finn Lake scattered across the township lines.

Local history is preserved in landmarks like the Finnish Cem and the Mary Brown Bridge. The river's character is further defined by the Butterfield Rapids and Walkins Rapids, which would have been significant markers for early navigation and timber floating. Traces of the region's logging past remain evident in road names such as Old Sawmill Rd and Huntersville Forest Rd, which cut through the various sections of T137N and T138N.
