2010 Map of Aldrich North

About this map

Aldrich and the tiny settlement of Central anchor this landscape of meandering watercourses in central Minnesota. The local drainage pattern is defined by the convergence of several systems, including the Wing River, Leaf River, Redeye River, and Partridge River. This network of tributaries underscores the area's transition between wetlands and agricultural plots, tied together by a strict grid of section roads like County Hwy-118 and County Hwy-26. South of the town center, the Aldrich Dam and the Mother of Sorrows Cemetery provide tangible markers of the community’s social and infrastructure history. The map captures the region at a time when traditional rural road networks remained the primary arteries for local transport, connecting isolated farmsteads to the regional hubs of Wadena County.
