2010 Map of Pierz Lake

About this map

Vawter sits along the southwestern edge of this landscape, positioned where the historical rail corridor now known as the Soo Line Trl cuts across the terrain. The area is defined by a dense network of water bodies and meandering streams, including Pelkey Lake, Frieze Lake, and the larger Pierz Lake, which is regulated by the Pierz Lake Dam. These wetlands and lakes are interconnected by a complex drainage system featuring the Platte River, Skunk River, and several smaller tributaries like Little Mink Creek and Buckman Creek. The township-and-range grid is heavily etched into the land by a series of local roads, such as Agram Blvd and Kettle Rd, reflecting the rural agricultural character of this part of Morrison County. Researchers will find a detailed representation of the 21st-century rural infrastructure and the preservation of natural waterways in this central Minnesota region.
