2019 Map of Kroschel NW

About this map

The Snake River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, marking the transition from the low-lying wetlands of Kanabec Co into Aitkin Co. This 2019 survey documents a sparsely populated area defined by its intricate drainage networks, including Cousins Brook and Chelsey Brook, which feed into larger river systems. The northern sections are dominated by vast wetland complexes and small ponds, with Lake Five serving as a prominent landmark in the southeast corner. Human presence is largely defined by a grid of rural routes and logging infrastructure, such as Loging Rd and Forrest Rd, which navigate the varying elevations. This map is particularly useful for understanding modern land use and water management in the region, showing how section lines and county boundaries intersect with the natural flow of the glacial terrain.
