2013 Map of Anchor Hill

About this map

Anchor Hill rises above a glaciated landscape defined by dozens of small lakes and marshes along the border of Becker and Clearwater counties. This 2013 survey illustrates the remote character of this lake-strewn region, where Sugar Bush Lake and Ozawindib Lake sit in the northern reaches, while the southeastern corner is anchored by the edge of Itasca State Park. The road network is sparse, primarily consisting of routes like Anchor Hill Rd and Wilderness Dr that navigate between water bodies. To the south, the map details the shoreline of Bad Medicine Lake and the winding course of Basswood Cr. The density of named water features, including Dead Beaver Lake and Twin Island Lake, highlights the area's importance for local recreation and its characteristic Minnesota wetlands.
