2019 Map of Kimberly

About this map

The settlement of Kimberly serves as the focal point for this Aitkin County survey, which reveals a landscape defined by an intricate network of wetlands and river systems. The Rice River meanders through the central and eastern portions of the quadrangle, connected to numerous water bodies including Portage Lake and Rice Lake. The area is notably dense with local historical markers, specifically cemeteries that provide essential data for genealogical research. Family and local legacies are preserved through sites like Anderson Cem, Lansford Cem, Saron Cem, and the Howard Private Cem. This region's hydrology is further characterized by the presence of Dam Lake and Camp Lake, with the Rice Lake Pool Trail offering a look at the modern recreational access to these traditional northern Minnesota wetlands. The map provides a precise record of the road network, including numerous township and county routes that navigate the low-lying terrain.
