2016 Map of Pine River

About this map

The city of Pine River serves as the focal point of this Cass County landscape, situated at the junction of the Pine River and its southern tributaries. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of water bodies and wetlands, including Norway Lake, Sand Lake, and the sprawling Rice-lake Swamp. To the north, the small community of Chickamaw Beach sits on the shores of Norway Lake, while the Pine River Regional Airport supports the region's transportation infrastructure. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial grounds, such as Pine-Ridge Cem, Maple Hill Cem, and Anderson Cem. The drainage pattern is defined by winding waterways like South Fork Pine River and Hoblin Cr, which move through a low-lying geography interspersed with occasional elevations such as Maple Hill. This survey captures the modern road network and rural layout before further development in this lake-rich portion of Minnesota.
