2019 Map of Kensington

About this map

Kensington anchors this glacial landscape along the border of Douglas and Pope counties, where the railroad line follows the natural grades north of Kensington Cem. The area is defined by a dense network of kettle lakes, including Red Rock Lake to the north and the cluster of Eng Lake, Solem Lake, and Roland Lake further south. Local history is well-preserved through several landmarks such as Runestone Hill and Lookout Mtn, which offer elevated perspectives over the water-dotted terrain. Genealogists can locate several burial sites within this small area, specifically Solem Cem near the lake of the same name and Wennersborg Cem to the west. The map detail reflects a persistent agricultural and rural layout, with many secondary roads like Beacon Rd SW and Dairy Dr SW providing access to the shorelines and farmsteads that have shaped this community for generations.
