What this local map set contains

The Aitkin County directory currently covers 110 lakes or reservoirs. 55 charts use measured bathymetry from a published source; 55 charts are clearly labeled as modeled. Recorded maximum depths range from 5 to 120 ft, with a median of 35 ft. Those figures describe each chart's deepest recorded or modeled point, not a safe navigation depth.

Species records are attached to 110 of 110 waters. The most frequently cataloged targets are Yellow Perch (101), Northern Pike (100), Pumpkinseed (100), Bluegill (98) and Brown Bullhead (96). These are coverage counts, not abundance estimates or catch forecasts; open the individual map to see the evidence and seasonal context attached to that water.

Three useful maps to compare first

  1. Big Sandy Lake: 80 ft maximum; survey-backed contours; 18 cataloged target species.
  2. Round: 120 ft maximum; survey-backed contours; 16 cataloged target species.
  3. Long: 110 ft maximum; survey-backed contours; 15 cataloged target species.

Start with a survey-backed chart when exact contour shape matters most. Use a modeled chart as broad planning context, then verify depths on the water. Comparing the three examples above also shows whether this area offers one dominant basin type or genuinely different shallow, deep, lake and river options. Access is separate from map coverage: confirm launches, shore rights, closures and posted rules before making the trip.
