About this map

The Mustinka River winds through the heart of this agricultural landscape in Traverse County, framing the eastern expansion of Wheaton. This 2016 survey illustrates a meticulously managed water system, where the natural meanders of Eighteenmile Cr and Twelvemile Cr meet engineered drainage such as County Ditch Number Twentyseven and County Ditch Number Four. The map serves as a vital record for family researchers, detailing the exact locations of Wildwood Cem and Saint Johns Cem near the town center.

Industrial and transport footprints are visible at the Johnsons Aero Repair Airport south of town, while the grid of rural roads like Co RD 78 and Co RD 14 defines the sectional divisions of the prairie. The transition between the river lowlands and the higher township plats is clearly marked, showing the persistent relationship between the prairie hydrology and the development of this Minnesota community.
