About this map

The Kettle River defines the western corridor of this Pine County landscape, carved by distinctive geological features like Hell Gate Rapids, Wolf Falls, and Quarry Rapids. The river's path is flanked by the settlements of Banning and the northern edge of Sandstone, where a grid of streets including Division St and Minnesota St meets the river's edge. To the east, the community of Askov serves as a local hub, anchored by the Bethlehem Lutheran Church Cem and a network of roads with Danish influences such as Jernbanegade and Guyernorsvej.

The terrain is marked by a complex hydrological network where Cane Cr, Wolf Cr, and Bear Cr feed into the primary river system. Local landmarks like the Big Sink Hole east of Boundary Line Rd provide insight into the unique karst-like topography of the region. This 2016 survey illustrates the balance between the established township grids and the preserved river corridor, offering a clear view of the rural road network connecting family lands via routes like Tenquist Rd and Duxbury Rd.
