The Necktie River flows through this wetland-heavy landscape in the mid-2010s, marking the transition between Hubbard and Cass counties. The area is characterized by numerous glacial water bodies, from the expansive Steamboat Lake in the south to smaller basins like Bowman Lake and Spike Lake further north. The small settlement of Wilkinson is situated near the southeastern shore of Steamboat Lake, where local history is anchored by the Green Lea Cem and Zion Memorial Cem. The transportation network is defined by a grid of county roads and residential lanes, such as Necktie River Rd and Tower Rd, which navigate the intricate system of creeks including Bungashing Cr. This map documents a period of established lakeside residence and rural cemetery sites within the Minnesota woods.
