About this map

The Rice River Cem sits in the northwest corner of this Aitkin County landscape, providing a primary point of reference for genealogists and local historians. This region is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and small watercourses, including the meandering path of Section Five Cr and Beckman Cr. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the namesake Split Rock Lake and the headwaters of the Split Rock River, which drain through the surrounding lowlands.

A sparse network of roads, such as Co Hwy 57 and Kestrel Ave, provides access through the townships of t46n r23w and t46n r22w. The topography is relatively flat, typical of northern Minnesota's glacial plains, where the drainage patterns of small creeks dictate the layout of rural routes like Co Rd 39. This survey captures the rural character of the area in the early 21st century, showing the persistence of traditional land divisions.
