About this map

The northern settlement of Walker occupies the shoreline where Walker Bay meets the main body of Leech Lake, serving as a central hub for this portion of the Chippewa National Forest. The 2011 landscape is defined by its intricate shoreline and smaller interior water bodies like Portage Lake and Lake May. Cultural and civic points of interest include the Walker Post Office and the distinct community of Ah-gwah-ching to the south, which features its own Ah-gwah-ching Post Office.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites preserved across the lakefront and woods, including Evergreen Cemetery near the town center, Pagan Cemetery on the northern shore, and Saint Agnes Cemetery to the east. The map also traces the winding path of the Shingobee River through the southern wetlands and identifies smaller lakeside clusters like Onigum and Baker. This edition reflects the area's development as a recreational and residential center, evidenced by locations such as the Walker Bay Campground and Shingobee Bay Rest Area.
