2022 Map of Riverton

About this map

The Mississippi River winds through this Minnesota landscape, defining a region where the iron mining legacy of the Cuyuna Range meets a complex network of glacial lakes. In the northeast, the settlements of Ironton and Trommald sit adjacent to Mountain Pits, marking the industrial history that shaped these communities. The central village of Riverton is positioned between Little Rabbit Lake and the river, connected to the surrounding terrain by the Cuyuna Lakes State Trl and a dense web of local paths like the Klondyke Trl and Syracuse Trl. To the south, the smaller localities of Loerch and Woodrow appear near the Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport, where the land transitions into a patchwork of wetlands and smaller water bodies such as Twin Island Lake and Hoppy Lake. This 2022 survey captures the contemporary balance between recreational trails and the physical scars of historic extraction.
