About this map

The Little Willow River meanders southward through this Aitkin County landscape, feeding a complex network of glacial basins and wetlands. The northern reaches are dominated by the interconnected waters of Esquagamah Lake and Round Lake, which sit alongside the western shores of Waukenabo Lake. This topography is characteristic of the Minnesota lake country, where low-lying marshes and smaller bodies of water like Krilwitz Lake and Rice Portage Lake are interspersed between local township roads.

In the southeast, a bend of the Mississippi River clips the corner of the quadrangle near the Riverside Cem. The settlement of Tamarack is situated among the level plains west of the river, reflecting the region's scattered residential pattern. A grid of local routes, including Grove St and Twp Hwy T379, provides access to these water bodies, which have long served as focal points for local land use and seasonal recreation.
