2022 Map of Alida

About this map

Alida serves as the focal point for this landscape in southern Clearwater County, situated near the intersection of Co Hwy 2 and Co Hwy 36. The terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands, including Moose Lake, Dahlberg Lake, and Duncan Lake. This area marks a significant hydrologic divide where the headwaters of the Mississippi River and the Little Mississippi River meander through the marshy lowlands. Local history is anchored by several rural burial grounds such as the Alida Cem, Moose Creek Township Cem, and Jones Township Cem, which reflect the early settlement patterns of the township. The presence of the Mallard Grade Trl and various county roads, including Raleigh Hill Rd and Clearline Rd NW, illustrates the modern transition from traditional logging and agricultural routes to recreational and local access ways.
