About this map

The Rice River meanders sharply across the northern landscape of this Aitkin County quadrangle, defining the terrain between the settlements of Hassman and Rossburg. This 2010 survey shows a region deeply connected to its glacial waters, where Sisabagamah Lake and Fleming Lake anchor the southern and northern boundaries respectively. The transportation network is a mix of state routes and township roads like Spencer Cematary Rd and Dam Lake St, reflecting a rural structure that has evolved around natural watercourses like Fleming Brook and Rabbit Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of local landmarks such as the Church of the Blessed Virgin Cemetery and Forest Cemetery. These sites, along with smaller bodies of water like Newstrom Lake and French Lake, illustrate the distribution of early settlements and family homesteads in this part of Minnesota. The map provides a clear view of the grid of township highways, such as Twp Hwy 361 W and Twp Hwy 55, that facilitate travel through the wetlands and river valleys.
