About this map

White Elk Lake sits at the heart of this Northwoods landscape in Aitkin County, surrounded by an intricate network of wetlands and smaller basins. The terrain is defined by its glacial hydrology, with Moose River winding through the northern sections and White Elk Cr draining the central lowlands. Notable local landmarks include Kingsleys Pothole and a cluster of named lakes such as Wolf Lake, Buss Lake, and Packer Lake.

Human activity is primarily represented by a grid of rural roads and county routes, including Co HWY 19 and Co RD 68, which provide access to the various water bodies. A Pub Water Access RD on the southern shore of the main lake suggests the importance of these waters for local recreation and land use. The map clearly delineates the Township and Range boundaries, such as t50n r26w, which help orient researchers and property owners within this sparsely settled region of Minnesota.
