2016 Map of Waukenabo

About this map

Waukenabo and Waldeck anchor this landscape where the Mississippi River winds through a complex system of wetlands and lakes in northern Minnesota. The area is defined by its abundance of water bodies, including the expansive Gun Lake and Waukenabo Lake, which are linked by smaller tributaries like White Elk Cr and the Willow River. The settlement pattern follows the high ground between these waters, with distinct family-named clusters such as White Elk Logan, Clark Logan, and Maydole Logan scattered across the township. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for the Waukenabo Cem, Pine Grove Cem, and Fleming Cem, marking the spiritual and communal centers of this Aitkin County area. The intricate network of township roads and county highways, such as Co HWY 10 and Co RD 78, illustrates how modern transportation has adapted to the natural contours of the river valleys and glacial lake beds.
