2013 Map of Wheaton East

About this map

Wheaton serves as the primary center of activity on the western edge of this Traverse County landscape, where the town's street grid meets major transit corridors like Us-75 and MN-27. The surrounding area is defined by a complex network of managed waterways, including the Mustinka River and several artificial channels such as County Ditch Number Four and County Drain Number Twentyseven. These systems illustrate the extensive agricultural engineering required to drain the flat prairie for cultivation. Local history is anchored by the Wildwood Cem and Saint Johns Cem, while the presence of Johnsons Aero Repair Airport reflects the region's modern utility. Tracing the courses of Eighteenmile Cr and Twelvemile Cr shows the natural drainage patterns that these ditch systems were built to supplement or replace.
