2011 Map of Alden

About this map

Torch Lake dominates the center of this landscape, its deep waters and elongated shoreline defining the geography between the settlements of Kewadin and Alden. The 2011 survey reveals a complex network of glacial lakes and connected waterways, including Elk Lake, Clam Lake, and the winding Clam River. Along the western shores, cultural heritage is preserved at the Kewadin Indian Cemetery and Sacred Heart Cemetery, marking the community's long-standing roots. On the eastern side, the village of Alden serves as a focal point near the mouth of Spencer Creek, while Valleau Landing provides a historic point of access to the water. This modern topography illustrates the transition of the region from a timber and agricultural hub toward its contemporary character as a destination for lakeside residence and recreation, highlighted by landmarks like Camp Maplehurst and Camp Fairwood. Numerous points of land, such as Deepwater Point and Lone Tree Point, suggest the intricate navigational history of these inland waters.
