2013 Map of Orrock

About this map

The Saint Francis River winds through this Sherburne County landscape, defining a network of wetlands and pools including Pool 14 and Pool 19. The terrain is marked by a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, such as Galbraith Cem, Two Stone Cem, and Svea Hill Cem, which suggest a long-established rural settlement pattern typical of the region's agricultural history. Near the center of the sheet, the Sand Dunes Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark north of Lake Ann. In the northeast corner, a transition occurs from the river bottomlands to the shores of Elk Lake and the Camp in the Woods recreational area. The small settlement of Orrock serves as a local hub, connected by a grid of rural routes like 261st Ave NW that navigate around prominent glacial features like Blue Hill.
