2016 Map of Bain

About this map

Bain sits at the intersection of a vast wetland landscape and local transit routes in this 2016 survey of Aitkin County. The settlement pattern here is sparse, characterized by long, straight roadways such as Co RD 68 and 320th PL that cut through the low-lying terrain. The hydrography is dominated by the meandering White Elk Cr and isolated bodies of water like Sitas Lake and Clear Lake, which dictate the placement of local homesteads and access roads. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Hebron Cem in the northeastern portion of the quadrangle, a significant landmark for tracing early residents in this section of the Minnesota Northwoods. The map provides a clear look at the township and range divisions, illustrating how the Public Land Survey System organized this remote corner of the state.
