2019 Map of Tamarack

About this map

Sheshebee and the surrounding Aitkin County wetlands define this landscape, where heavy lake concentrations meet the winding courses of the Tamarack River and Sandy River. The map details a transition from the denser cluster of summer homes and recreation around Lake Minnewawa to the expansive, boggy lowlands of the east and south. Smaller settlements like Tamarack and Grayling anchor the southern portion of the sheet along the primary transport corridors, while Mussel Creek drains the central marshlands. For local historians, the placement of the Round Lake Cem and Fairview Cem provides essential spatial context for early families in this lake-strewn region. The intricate network of local roads, such as Island Lake Rd and Old Hwy 2, illustrates the late-era development of this timber and water-rich territory.
