2016 Map of Arthyde

About this map

Arthyde and the small settlement of Ellson anchor this northern Minnesota landscape, characterized by the dense wetlands and woods of the Aitkin Co Forestry. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage system where the Snake River and Chelsea Brook wind through low-lying marshlands. This 2016 survey captures the area along the Aitkin Co and Pine Co border, revealing a network of rural timber and forest roads such as Herubin Forest Rd and Giese Forest Rd. The map illustrates the hydrological patterns of the region, from the headwaters of Birch Cr in the north to Rhine Lake and Rhine Cr in the south. The distribution of these water bodies, including Bremen Cr and Little Bremen Cr, dictates the placement of isolated residences and the limited road infrastructure that services this timber-rich environment.
