1996 Map of Alvwood

About this map

The Chippewa National Forest and Blackduck State Forest dominate this Itasca County landscape, where the administrative boundaries of national, state, and tribal lands overlap. Settlement centers on the small communities of Alvwood and Rosy, the latter of which includes the Rosy Cemetery. The terrain is defined by a dense network of wetlands and water bodies, including Upper Twin Lakes, Shallow Pond Lake, and the winding Popple River. A significant portion of the southeastern quadrant falls within the Leech Lake Indian Reservation, reflecting the complex jurisdictional history of this timber-rich region. Local infrastructure is primarily represented by a grid of Township Roads and small-scale excavations like the Gravel Pit, supporting a rural economy tied to the forest and its waterways.
