The Mississippi River winds through this 1994 record of the lake-rich landscape of Aitkin County and its neighbors. The region is defined by its extensive protected lands and water management areas, including the Rice Lake National Wildlife Refuge and the Savanna Portage State Park. Settlement patterns reflect the influence of the Soo Line railroad, which connects the hub at McGregor to smaller stops like Tamarack and Palisade. To the southwest, the mining heritage near Crosby and Ironton is visible alongside the Mille Lacs Lake Indian Reservation. The map details a complex network of wetlands and diversion projects, notably the Flood Diversion Channel, which manages the water levels of the surrounding marshes and numerous lakes like Big Sandy Lake and Lake Minnewawa.
