About this map

Bennettville sits in a landscape defined by an intricate network of water and wetlands, where the Ripple River connects a chain of glacial lakes. This 2010 survey highlights the region's managed waterways, noted by structures like the Hanging Kettle Lake Dam, Ripple Lake Dam, and Pine Lake Dam. These dams, alongside features like Fire Tower Hill and Hickory Hill, show how the natural topography has been utilized for both resource management and local observation.

Genealogical and community interests are anchored by the Diamond Lake Cemetery and the Big K Campground near Little Pine Lake. The map reveals a dense distribution of named water bodies, from the large Spirit Lake and Lone Lake to smaller basins like Thirteen Lake and Mallard Lake. The presence of Elm Island within Elm-Island Lake further illustrates the complex shorelines that characterize this portion of Aitkin County.
