2019 Map of Sanders Lake

About this map

The Mississippi River curves through the southeastern corner of this Aitkin County landscape, defining the local drainage before it meets the Willow River. The terrain is characterized by an extensive network of wetlands and small water bodies, including Sanders Lake, which sits just north of the larger river's bend. This 2019 survey reflects a rural township structure dominated by the Public Land Survey System, with boundaries like t50n r24w and t49n r24w organizing the territory. Human presence is marked primarily by a grid of county infrastructure and local access points, such as Co Hwy 10 and Co Hwy 5, alongside numerous residential lanes like 578th Ln and 275th Pl. The map captures a contemporary look at this northern Minnesota environment where low-lying river bottoms and forested sections remain the primary geographic features.
