About this map

Swanville and the nearby community of Pillsbury anchor this landscape of glacial lakes and prairie waterways in Central Minnesota. The Swan River and its various tributaries, including the Spring Branch Swan River, Little Swan River, and Molly Creek, create a complex network of drainage that feeds into numerous bodies of water. Significant landmarks like the Little Swan Lake Dam illustrate local water management, while larger lakes such as Big Swan Lake, Long Lake, and Wolf Lake define the terrain's character.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several important burial sites, including Bearhead Cemetery north of Pillsbury, and a cluster of others near Swanville, such as Spring Brook Cemetery, Saint Peter Cemetery, and Saint John Cemetery. The town of Swanville remains a central hub for the area, featuring the Swanville Post Office and serving as the junction for several significant routes like County Hwy-12 and County Hwy-104.
