2010 Map of Aldrich South

About this map

Aldrich sits at the northern edge of this agricultural landscape, where the local road network follows a rigid section-line grid typical of central Minnesota. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Partridge River and its tributaries, including the Little Partridge River and Egly Creek, which break the geometric precision of the surrounding farm lots. This area, south of the Wing River, serves as a transition between the more developed settlement at the top of the sheet and the open rural expanses to the south. Two primary burial grounds, Balsamlund Cemetery and the Moran-Germania Cemetery near the banks of Moran Creek, provide important touchpoints for family historians and genealogists tracing the early settlers of Wadena County. The preservation of local road names like Todd Line Rd and Thorn Apple Rd reflects the enduring rural character of the region in the early 21st century.
