About this map

The city of Pierz and its neighboring villages of Genola and Buckman form the primary settlements across this central Minnesota landscape in 2019. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways including the Skunk River and numerous tributaries such as Hillman Cr, Mischke Cr, and Buckman Cr. These streams navigate a complex of wetlands and small lakes, most notably Granite Lake in the north and Coon Lake near the southern border.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by significant landmarks like Saint Joseph's Catholic Cem in Pierz and Saint Michael's Cem in Buckman. The map reflects a predominantly agricultural layout, organized by a precise grid of township roads and county highways, including Co HWY 43 and Co HWY 23, which connect the rural homesteads to the municipal centers. The township boundaries from T41N down to T39N provide a clear framework for tracing property records and family landholdings across the Morrison County countryside.
