About this map

The Clearwater River serves as a natural boundary between Stearns and Wright counties in this mid-1970s topographical record. The settlement pattern is anchored by Fairhaven, South Haven, and the western edge of Annandale, showing a landscape defined by the Soo Line railroad and a dense network of glacial lakes. Local genealogy is well-served by the inclusion of several burying grounds, including Concordia Cem, Zion Cem, Union Cem, and St Johns Cem.

Large recreational and community water bodies like Clearwater Lake, which features the notable Bungalow Island, and Lake Sylvia dominate the southern and eastern portions of the map. These lakes are surrounded by numerous gravel pits and specialized landmarks such as Camp Heritage and Koinonia Retreat Ch, illustrating the area's transition from a rail-dependent agricultural and mining economy into a prominent regional retreat and lakeside community hub.
