About this map

The glacial waters of East Battle Lake and Stuart Lake dominate this central Minnesota landscape, where the small community of Vining serves as a local anchor. The town is marked by the Vining Post Office and its proximity to Woodland Park, while the smaller settlement of Nirvana sits just to the west near the East Battle Lake Dam. This 2010 survey illustrates a region defined by its hydrography, featuring numerous smaller bodies of water like Tamarack Lake, Lake Ethel, and the aptly named Beauty Shore Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Girard Cemetery situated north of the main lakes, as well as the network of secondary routes like Old Highway 210 and Chippewa Trl that lace between the shoreline properties. The map reveals how the modern road system, including County Hwy-5 and County Hwy-55, respects the irregular boundaries of the many lakes and creeks, such as Brandborg Creek, that drain this wetland-rich territory.
