2010 Map of Wheaton East

About this map

Wheaton serves as the focal point for this Traverse County landscape, showing the town's residential grid and the Wheaton Post Office near the intersection of several county highways. The surrounding terrain is defined by a sophisticated water management system of drainage canals, including County Ditch Number Four, County Ditch Number Thirtysix, and County Drain Number Twentyseven. These man-made channels intersect with natural waterways such as the Mustinka River and Eighteenmile Creek, reflecting a landscape heavily modified for agricultural productivity. Local history is anchored by the Wildwood Cemetery on the northwestern edge of town and Saint Johns Cemetery to the east. Farther afield, the Johnsons Aero Repair Airport sits near the winding course of the West Branch Twelvemile Creek, illustrating the intersection of rural aviation and the natural drainage patterns of the Minnesota prairie.
