About this map

Ward Springs and Grey Eagle anchor this central Minnesota landscape, where the glacial legacy is evident in a dense network of lakes and marshes. The border between Todd Co and Stearns Co bisects the region, running through the northern reaches of Big Birch Lake and near the smaller settlement of Spaulding. Local history is rooted in the lakeside communities and surrounding agricultural sections, with Saint Joseph Cem located just south of Grey Eagle.

Water dominates the geography, with notable bodies such as Big Swan Lake, Feucht Lake, and Fuller Lake connected by a web of drainages like Prairie Cr and Trout Cr. The map details the modern road grid, from county routes like Co Rd 2 to local tracks like Hogsback Rd and Blue Spruce Rd, providing a clear view of how rural residences and farmsteads are integrated into this wetland-rich environment.
