2022 Map of Platte Lake

About this map

Pine Center serves as the primary settlement hub in this region of central Minnesota, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The geography is dominated by large water bodies such as Platte Lake and Sullivan Lake, connected by the winding course of the Platte River. This area, straddling the border between Crow Wing and Morrison counties, shows a shift from organized township grids to the organic shoreline developments found near Rock Lake and Bulldog Lake. Local history and genealogy are anchored by sites such as Holy Family Cem near the eastern margin and Lakeview Cem further south. The map documents the modern footprint of the Crow Wing Southern Loop Trl, illustrating how recreational trails have integrated with older rural thoroughfares like Co Rd 2 SE and Pine Center Trl.
