2010 Map of Split Hand Lake

About this map

The Mississippi River meanders through the eastern portion of this Itasca County landscape, defining a complex hydrology of glacial lakes and managed waterways. Central to the map is Split Hand Lake, which, along with Little Split Hand Lake, is regulated by infrastructure such as the Splithand Lake Dam and Little Splithand Lake Dam. This network of water is further connected by the winding Split Hand Creek, which flows eastward toward the river. To the north, the landscape is dotted by Cow Horn Lake and Little Cow Horn Lake, while the southern reaches extend into the Savanna State Frst. Human activity is marked by a grid of rural routes like Splithand Rd and River Rd, as well as the small Porter Airport in the southeast, reflecting a region where natural resources and recreational geography predominate.
