About this map

Pierz stands as a central hub in this Morrison County landscape, where the Skunk River flows southward past the town's western edge. The region is defined by a dense network of local waterways, including Hillman Cr and Mischke Cr, which drain the surrounding agricultural lands. For those tracing local roots, the map provides precise locations for significant community landmarks such as Saint Joseph's Catholic Cem in Pierz and Saint Michael's Cem near Buckman.

The settlement pattern follows a clear grid of township roads and county highways, connecting the larger community of Pierz to smaller outlying areas like Genola. Natural features like Granite Lake and Coon Lake punctuate the terrain, reflecting the wetland-rich environment of central Minnesota. This survey documents the intersection of rural residential growth and the traditional stream systems that have shaped the county's development.
