About this map

The Aure quadrangle is characterized by an intricate network of wetlands and glacial lakes, a landscape that defined the townships of Roosevelt, Maple Ridge, Buzzle, and Liberty in the early 1970s. The northern portion of the map is bordered by the Red Lake Ind Res, while the southern reaches are dominated by the Long Lake State Wildlife Management Area, which encompasses the sizable Deer Lake. These conservation and tribal lands emphasize a region largely shaped by the natural environment rather than dense urban development.

Local infrastructure is concentrated around the Buzzel Ch and a scattered system of unimproved roads and sandpits. Significant water bodies such as Sandy Lake, Whitefish Lake, and Lake Erick serve as central landmarks within the dense forest cover. The inclusion of a Public Access point at Deer Lake and several Gravel Pits reflects the local economy's reliance on the land's resources and the seasonal recreation common to this part of Beltrami County.
