About this map

Willmar serves as the focal point of this 2016 survey, showcasing a dense grid of residential and industrial streets north of a sprawling lake-dotted prairie. The map details the urban core with specific thoroughfares like Litchfield Ave SW and Willmar Ave SE, reflecting the city's growth around its northern water features. Outside the city limits, the landscape transitions to agricultural sections punctuated by numerous wetlands and small basins typical of the region's glacial topography.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of rural burial sites and landmarks. From the Svea Cem in the south to Saint Marys Cem and Hardanger Cem, these features provide a roadmap of early community hubs. The presence of the Willmar Municipal Airport-John L Rice Field and prominent water bodies like Lake Wakanda and Foot Lake highlight the intersection of mid-century infrastructure and the natural environment.
