About this map

Staples sits at the northern edge of this 2013 survey, straddling the boundary between Wadena Co and Todd Co. The settlement pattern here is defined by its position at the junction of Us-10 and MN-210, with local neighborhoods including the Pine Ridge Trailer Court and Oak Ridge Trailer Court. A post office (Po) and Evergreen Cem serve the town, while Spectrum Park offers a dedicated green space near the center of the community.

The surrounding landscape is a complex network of glacial lakes and waterways typical of central Minnesota. Significant water bodies such as Dower Lake, Hayden Lake, and Rice Lake are interspersed with drainage systems like Stony Brook and Moran Cr. In the southern reaches, the Long Prairie River meanders across the terrain. This map captures the region's transition from a concentrated small-town center to a rural expanse punctuated by family-named lakes and a systematic grid of county highways.
