2019 Map of Waukenabo

About this map

Mississippi River meanders through the central and southern reaches of this Aitkin County landscape, defining the character of the wetlands and drainage patterns that dominate the terrain. This area is characterized by a dense network of lakes and marshes, from Waukenabo Lake and Rice Lake in the northwest to Gun Lake and Fleming Lake in the southeast. The small settlements of Waukenabo, Waldeck, and Palisade serve as focal points for local history, connected by a system of township roads and county highways. The presence of several established burial grounds, including Waukenabo Cem, Pine Grove Cem, and Fleming Cem, provides specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. Named landforms like Gun Point and the winding course of the Willow River further illustrate the intricate geography of this lake-studded region.
