2022 Map of Minnewawa

About this map

The settlement of Minnewawa serves as a small hub in this lake-rich landscape of Aitkin County, where the transition between open water and wetland is bridged by a dense network of local roads. Resting near the shores of Lake Minnewawa, the community is surrounded by a complex hydrological system including Flowage Lake, Rat Lake, and Sandy River Lake. The terrain is shaped by the Sandy River and Minnewawa Cr, which weave through the townships of t49n r24w and t49n r23w. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the locations of Lakeview Cem and Shamrock Cem, along with infrastructure like the DNR Public Acc. The intricate layout of lakeside drives, such as Tedna Dr and Koko-Kong Rd, reveals the growth of residential and recreational development along the northern reaches of Big Sandy Lake.
