About this map

The Leaf River and its meandering tributaries dominate the landscape of this central Minnesota region, where the prairie begins to meet the north woods. The city of Wadena serves as the primary hub, showing a detailed street grid including Ash Ave NW and Bryant Ave SE, alongside the Wadena Municipal Airport. To the northwest, the smaller settlement of Bluffton sits near the banks of Bluff Cr, marking a quiet rural center defined by its connection to the water.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by a high density of burial grounds and religious sites. Researchers can trace the locations of Saint John's Catholic Church Cem and Saint Anns Cem, along with the Gustafva Cem and Compton Cem. The county line between Otter Tail Co and Wadena Co runs north-south through the center of the sheet, providing a clear boundary for land ownership and historical records research.
