2022 Map of Nimrod

About this map

The Crow Wing River winds through this portion of Wadena County, defining a landscape of complex waterways and expansive wetlands. Near the settlement of Nimrod, the river's path is marked by features like Butterfield Rapids and Watkins Rapids, as well as the distinct Kossila Oxbow. The presence of the Finnish Cem near Rice Lake reflects the heritage of the early families who settled this region of Minnesota. Much of the terrain is dominated by low-lying areas such as Wire Grass Meadow and various basins like Yaeger Lake and Mud Lake. The road network, including the Huntersville Trl and Old Sawmill Rd, highlights the historical ties to the timber industry and the rural connectivity between the Cat River drainage and the larger Crow Wing system.
