2016 Map of Willow River

About this map

The Kettle River and Willow River define the watery geography of this Pine County landscape, where the settlements of Willow River and Rutledge anchor the local community. The confluence of the Moose Horn River and the Willow River near the Willow River Reservoir illustrates the area's complex drainage patterns. Local history is centered around landmarks such as Saint Mary's Catholic Cem and the Willow River City Cem, which serve as vital points for genealogical research. Numerous named lakes, including Sturgeon Lake, Dago Lake, and McCormick Lake, are scattered throughout the quadrangle, connected by a network of county highways and local roads like Co Hwy 61 and Old Sawmill Rd. The map reveals a transition from wetland areas and small lakes to more developed corridors along the primary transportation routes.
