About this map

The unincorporated community of Thor sits at a crossroads in northern Minnesota, marking a landscape defined by an intricate network of wetlands and small glacial lakes. This 2016 survey highlights the remote character of Aitkin County, where the terrain is dominated by features such as Swamp Lake and the meandering path of Dam Brook. The map reveals a transition from the wooded areas surrounding Sugar Lake and Long Lake to the marshy expanses near Rice Lake.

Local infrastructure is represented by a grid of rural routes and specialized roads like Sugar Lake Access Rd, providing access to the region's many water bodies. Genealogists and local historians will find the southern edge of the quadrangle particularly notable for Jewett Cem, located near the intersection of Jewett Rd and the township boundaries. The map provides a modern look at this sparsely populated region, capturing the balance between small settlements and the persistent natural water systems of the Northwoods.
