2019 Map of Minnewawa

About this map

Lake Minnewawa and the surrounding Aitkin County wetlands define this portion of northern Minnesota. This 2019 survey captures the settlement of Minnewawa and a landscape saturated with water, from the sprawling reach of Big Sandy Lake in the north to the meandering course of the Sandy River. The map detail reveals a community deeply integrated with its shoreline, where numerous small roads like Round Lake Rd and Tedna Dr provide access to the various peninsulas and lakefront properties. Genealogists and local historians will find the locations of Lakeview Cem and Shamrock Cem particularly valuable for tracing resident families. The intricate network of smaller water bodies, including Rat Lake, Flowage Lake, and Dollar Lake, illustrates the complex hydrology of the region, where the Minnewawa Cr drains through low-lying marshlands.
