2016 Map of Split Hand Lake

About this map

Mississippi River oxbows and marshlands dominate the eastern edge of this landscape where Itasca Co and Aitkin Co meet. The 2016 terrain is defined by a complex glacial drainage system, featuring larger bodies of water like Split Hand Lake and Cow Horn Lake alongside smaller basins such as Little Split Hand Lake and Mud Lake. These lakes are interconnected by waterways including Split Hand Cr, which winds through a dense network of wetlands. Small-scale aviation and local infrastructure are visible through the presence of Porter Airport and a grid of rural routes such as Splithand Rd and Cow Horn Lake Rd. The map illustrates a rural Minnesota wilderness where historical land divisions like t53n r24w define the boundaries of timber and wetland tracts.
