2019 Map of Bagley Lake

About this map

The Sandy River snakes through this section of Beltrami and Clearwater Counties, connecting a dense network of glacial lakes including Sand Lake, Dunbar Lake, and the expansive Lower Red Lake at the northern margin. This landscape is defined by its water and marshlands, where small drainages like Big Rock Cr feed into deeper basins such as Johnson Lake and Graining Lake. The region is primarily managed as reservation land, evidenced by the numbered road system including Resvn Hwy 5 and Resvn Hwy 3. Local history is anchored by the presence of Clover Cem and Trinity Cem, which sit near the more developed road corridors like Co Hwy 11 and Bagley Lake Rd. The transition between the open water of Bagley Lake and the dense wetlands surrounding Fence Lake illustrates the complex hydrology of northern Minnesota's lake country.
