About this map

The Snake River winds through the western edge of this rural landscape, carving a path through the borderlands of northern Kanabec and southern Aitkin Counties. In the early 21st century, this area remains characterized by its complex hydrology, with the meandering courses of Cowans Brook and Chelsey Brook feeding into the river system. To the southeast, small water bodies like Long Lake and Lake Five punctuate the terrain, connected by a network of local routes such as Aleta Trl and Spruce St. The placement of the Aitkin and Kanabec County line provides a clear marker for boundary researchers and genealogists tracing property records in this portion of Ford Township. This survey illustrates a quiet transition from wooded wetlands to dispersed rural road networks like Silver Star Rd and Waylen Rd that facilitate movement between the scattered homesteads of the region.
