2016 Map of Alvwood

About this map

Alvwood and the smaller settlement of Rosy anchor this northern Minnesota landscape, characterized by the extensive wetlands and dense woodlands of the Chippewa National Forest. The map documents a territory defined by its water systems, including the Popple River winding through the north and the Third River in the south, connecting numerous basins like Rosy Lake and Little Dixon Lake. For local historians and genealogists, the inclusion of the Moose Park Township Cem and Rosy Cem provides critical points of reference for early area residents. The road network, comprising routes like Co Rd 13 and Safe Rd, reveals how the community remained integrated with the surrounding forest economy. This 2016 survey captures the persistent rural character of Itasca County, where drainage features like Dunbar Cr and Skimmerhorn Cr continue to shape the geography of the township.
