About this map

Alvwood and the smaller settlement of Rosy serve as the primary landmarks in this part of Itasca County, defined by a complex network of glacial lakes and winding waterways. The landscape is interconnected by significant drainages including the Popple River in the north and the Third River to the southwest, while Moose Creek and Dunbar Creek carve through the central timberlands.

Genealogists and local historians will find the location of the Moose Park Township Cemetery near County Hwy-13 and the Rosy Cemetery adjacent to Cottonwood Creek particularly useful for identifying family sites. The presence of the Dixon Lake Lookout Tower near Little Dixon Lake highlights the region's historical focus on fire surveillance and forest management. Numerous forest roads and trails, such as Kupcho Rd and 8 Mile Rd, branch off the main county highways to reach more isolated water bodies like Shallow Pond Lake and Upper Twin Lakes.
