2019 Map of Silver Creek

About this map

The Mississippi River creates a natural boundary in the northeast, separating Sherburne County from Wright County in this landscape defined by glacial depressions and water. The small settlements of Hasty, Enfield, and Becker are connected by major transport routes like County Road 75 NW, which parallels the river's course. Numerous named bodies of water, including the large Maria Lake, Locke Lake, and the cluster near the settlement of Silver Creek, show a dense wetland environment typical of central Minnesota. Local history is anchored at sites like Highland Cemetery near the northern border and Lakeside Cemetery centrally located near West Lake. This 2019 survey documents a region where agricultural land and residential clusters are woven through an extensive network of lakes such as Millstone Lake, Ida Lake, and Lake Mary.
