About this map

The Crow Wing River winds through the heart of this landscape, defining the character of the border between Wadena and Cass Counties. The small settlement of Oylen sits at a strategic crossing point, where local roads like Co Rd 9 and White Dog Rd converge near the riverbank. This area is characterized by a high density of wetlands and small water bodies, including Strike Lake, Granning Lake, and Sand Lake to the south.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Lyons Cem situated near a bend in the river in the northern portion of the quadrangle. The map details a network of drainage and tributaries such as Beaver Cr, Farnham Cr, and Martin Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology of the region. The grid of section lines and township boundaries, including t136n r33w, provides a clear framework for tracing property records and historic land use across this river-focused territory.
