About this map

Park Rapids serves as the focal point of this Northwoods landscape, where the Fishhook River drains from the expansive Fishhook Lake into the Fish Hook River Reservoir. The town's grid is established north of the Park Rapids Municipal Airport-Konshok Field, while the surrounding countryside is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes including Potato Lake, Portage Lake, and Long Lake. This 2016 survey captures the area's development as a regional hub and recreational destination, showing the modern alignment of the Heartland Trl following former rail corridors.

Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, such as Greenwood Cem, Saint Peters Cem, and the more remote Straight River Cem to the south. The hydrography of Hubbard County is intricately detailed, mapping the connections between the Portage River and the Straight River, which highlight the importance of water management and environmental conservation in this lake-rich region of Minnesota.
