About this map

Waverly and Montrose anchor this Wright County landscape, positioned along the transport corridor of Pacific Ave and Nelson Blvd. This modern survey reveals a region defined by its numerous glacial lakes and intricate drainage networks, including the North Fork Crow River and winding tributaries like Twelvemile Cr and Frederick Cr. The pattern of settlement is clearly tied to the water, with homes and infrastructure clustered around Waverly Lake, Little Waverly Lake, and Carrigan Lake.

Genealogists and local researchers will find value in the precise location of several historical burial sites, such as Saint Marys Cem near the town center and the more secluded Kreidler Cem and Mission Cem. The map documents the grid of township roads that connects these communities to surrounding water bodies like Malardi Lake, Mud Lake, and Fountain Lake, illustrating the persistent agricultural and residential layout of the central Minnesota lake country.
