2010 Map of Kimberly

About this map

The Rice River meanders through this portion of Aitkin County, connecting a network of lakes and waterways that define the local landscape. The small settlement of Kimberly serves as a central point, situated where Twp Hwy 152 meets the river. For genealogists and local historians, the area is notable for several burial sites including Lansford Cemetery to the north and a cluster of sites to the south near Lily Lake, comprising Saron Cemetery, the Howard Private Cemetery, and Anderson Cemetery. This 2010 survey illustrates a region largely defined by its hydrography, from the expansive Rice Lake and Dam Lake to smaller features like Portage Lake and Camp Lake. The drainage patterns are clearly marked by the Portage Branch and Dam Brook, while a grid of rural roads like Nature Ave and 275th Ave provides access to these isolated northern woods.
