2010 Map of Ward Springs

About this map

Big Birch Lake and Little Birch Lake dominate the southern landscape of this central Minnesota region, where the small settlement of Ward Springs sits along the northern shore. This 2010 survey illustrates a lake-strewn topography defined by glacial depressions, ranging from the large Big Swan Lake in the northeast to smaller bodies like Feucht Lake and Bunker Lake. The infrastructure of the era is marked by a network of county highways and local roads, such as Hogsback Rd and Birch Lake Rd, which provide access to seasonal and permanent residences near the water.
