2016 Map of Anderson Lake

About this map

The W Fork Prairie River meanders through this heavily glaciated pocket of northern Minnesota, defining a landscape dominated by interconnected wetlands and dozens of small basins. This 2016 survey highlights a region largely set aside for recreation and resource management, where seasonal access is provided by specialized routes like the Cameron Lake Snowmobile Trail and the Lost Lake Truck Trl. Named water bodies such as Brush Shanty Lake, Little Antler Lake, and Raddison Lake are interspersed among unnamed marshlands, illustrating the complex hydrography typical of the North Woods. Human infrastructure is limited to secondary roads and trails, including Scenic Hwy and Owen Lake Rd, which thread between the lakes. This configuration suggests a landscape shaped by timber interests and outdoor tourism, where traditional land divisions like t60n r24w dictate the sparse development patterns seen near Anderson Lake.
