2013 Map of Almena

About this map

Upper Turtle Lake and Lower Turtle Lake anchor this portion of Barron County, where the landscape is defined by a dense concentration of glacial water bodies and a structured grid of agricultural roads. The Hay River meanders through the eastern section, joined by several smaller tributaries including Johnson Cr and Lightning Cr. This early 21st-century survey illustrates the modern layout of the rural area north of Almena, showcasing the intersection of major transit routes like Us-63 and Us-8 against a backdrop of numerous small lakes such as Crystal Lake, Gates Lake, and Echo Lake. The map reveals a high density of named water features, which suggests a region heavily utilized for recreation and conservation, while the road network remains tied to the underlying section lines of the original township surveys.
