2013 Map of Lawler

About this map

Lawler sits at the heart of this Aitkin County landscape, where the drainage of Wakefield Brook and the Sandy River winds through a complex terrain of glacial lakes and wetlands. The map reveals a distinct cultural imprint defined by small, community-centered burial grounds such as the Finnish Apostolic Cem and Salo Cem, reflecting the area's heritage. A network of local roads like Kestrel Ave and 360th St connects the settlement to surrounding natural features, including the prominent Sheriff Lake and the smaller, tucked-away Starvation Lake. To the east, the Lawler Lookout Tower stands as a focal point for forest management and local geography. The distribution of sites like the Grayling Cem and Sheriff Lake Cem suggests a history of localized rural clusters established long before modern consolidation.
