2019 Map of Pierz Lake

About this map

Vawter sits at the southwestern edge of a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways and wetlands in Morrison County. The Platte River meanders through the central terrain, flanked by significant bodies of water including Rice Lake, Mud Lake, and Pelkey Lake. This rural region is characterized by a high density of small creeks and tributaries, such as Skunk River, Buckman Creek, and Little Mink Cr, which flow through the sectioned agricultural plots and wooded patches. The presence of the Platte River Trail suggests a long-standing movement corridor through this marshy environment. The map details a transition from the structured township grid of 113th St and 158th St to the more natural, winding paths of Platte River Trail and various county highways that skirt the edges of the numerous wetlands.
