2010 Map of Willow River

About this map

The Willow River and Kettle River define this Pine County landscape, converging near the settlements of Willow River and Rutledge. At this time in 2010, the area shows a distinct transition between riverside habitation and recreational land use, featuring numerous campgrounds like Willow River Camp and Edelweiss Campground. The map documents critical local infrastructure, including the West Fork Desmoines River Dam and the Willow River Lookout Tower, which stands as a landmark for forest management. Genealogists will find several burial sites recorded, including Saint Mary's Catholic Cemetery and the Willow River City Cemetery. The presence of the Willard Munger Trl following the old rail corridor highlights the region's shift toward modern trail-based recreation while preserving its historical transport routes.
