About this map

Pierz and the nearby village of Genola anchor the northern landscape of this Morrison County survey, where the Soo Line South: Morrison Trl marks a significant former rail corridor cutting east-to-west across the terrain. This area is defined by a dense network of small waterways and wetlands, including the Skunk River, Hillman Cr, and Mischke Cr, which drain toward the south and west. To the south, the settlement of Buckman sits amidst a pattern of section-line roads and family farmstead sites.

Genealogists will find particular value in the detailed plotting of local churchyards, specifically Saint Joseph's Catholic Cem near the northern edge and Saint Michael's Cem further south. The map illustrates a rural economy transitioning through the early 21st century, where the industrial presence of the Industrial Park Rd in Pierz contrasts with the natural basins of Granite Lake and Coon Lake.
