2010 Map of Willmar

About this map

Willmar serves as a significant regional hub in central Minnesota, shown here with its grid of residential and commercial streets anchored by the Willmar Post Office. The landscape is defined by its numerous water bodies, including Foot Lake and its associated Foot Lake Dam near the town center, while the larger Lake Wakanda and Stevens Lake lie to the south and east. A strong connection to local heritage is evident in the preservation of several burial grounds such as Hardanger Cemetery, Saint Marys Cemetery, and Bethel Cemetery. To the south, the small community of Svea marks a distinct rural settlement point. The map also captures the local transportation and recreation infrastructure, from the Willmar Municipal Airport-John L Rice Field to the Valley Golf Course, illustrating the development of the county seat and its outlying farming communities at the turn of the 21st century.
