About this map

The Crow Wing River serves as the central corridor for this 2019 survey, marking the boundary between Cass Co and Morrison Co. The river valley is a focal point for settlement and memory, evidenced by a high density of burial sites such as Wildwood Cem, Sylvan Cem, and the Crow Wing River Cem. An exceptionally rare find on a modern topographic sheet is the individual Mrs Albert Schultz Grave, located north of Mud Lake.

Transport and land use patterns are defined by the convergence of the Gull River into the Crow Wing, with the village of Pillager and the community of Sylvan established along these water routes. The landscape transitions from the developed lakeshores of Sylvan Lake to the protected tracts accessed via Pillsbury State Forestry Rd, illustrating the modern balance of residential growth and timber management in central Minnesota.
