2010 Map of Pierz

About this map

Pierz and Buckman anchor this central Minnesota landscape, where the agricultural grid is interrupted by the meandering course of the Skunk River. This 2010 survey highlights the transformation of the region's infrastructure, most notably with the Soo Line Trl following the historic railroad corridor across the terrain. Small-town hubs are clearly defined, featuring localized landmarks such as the Pierz Post Office and the Buckman Post Office. To the north, the Skunk River Dam regulates the water as it flows near Granite Lake, while the local social fabric is represented by Saint Joseph's Catholic Cemetery and Saint Michael's Cemetery. The geography is further defined by a complex network of tributaries, including Hillman Creek, Skunk Creek, and Buckman Creek, which traverse the farming parcels and connect the communities of Pierz and Genola.
