About this map

The Mississippi River forms the northeastern boundary of this landscape, separating Sherburne and Wright counties. This 1991 revision shows a region defined by complex glacial topography, where numerous lakes and wetlands are protected by established conservation lands. The extensive Lake Maria State Park dominates the central portion of the sheet, surrounded by specialized habitats like the Hoglund State Wildlife Management Area and the Kelly-Meyer State Wildlife Management Area.

Small settlements such as Hasty and Enfield are situated along the northern transport corridor, while the hamlet of Silver Creek serves as a local landmark. For researchers, several rural burial grounds are mapped in detail, including Highland Cem, Lakeside Cem, and Lakeview Cem. The hydrography of the area is particularly dense, featuring named bodies of water like Locke Lake, Eagle Lake, and Maria Lake, which suggest the historic drainage and recreation patterns of the late twentieth century.
