About this map

The North Fork Crow River and its tributary, Twelvemile Cr, define the drainage of this central Minnesota landscape. The townships are marked by a high density of wetlands and named basins, including Big Marsh, Malardi Lake, and Carrigan Lake. Settlement centers on the neighboring communities of Waverly and Montrose, which are linked by a primary east-west transportation corridor that parallels the south shore of Waverly Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find a significant number of rural burial grounds scattered across the area, such as Mission Cem, Saint Pauls Cem, and Kreidler Cem. The map's detailed road network, including the intersection of 20th St SW and Eldy Ave SW, reveals a landscape where original agrarian section lines have been meticulously preserved and adapted for modern access. The distribution of small water bodies like Ruckles Lake and Mud Lake suggests a complex glacial topography that has historically shaped local land use and property boundaries.
