2019 Map of Bailey Lake

About this map

The Red Lake River meanders across this northern landscape, defining the hydrology of a region dominated by extensive wetlands and seasonal water bodies. This 2019 survey captures the wilderness character of Clearwater County, where the Clearwater River cuts through the southwestern corner, separate from the primary drainage of the Red Lake River. The area is sparsely populated with few permanent structures, instead featuring a network of reservation roads such as Resvn Hwy 21 and Resvn Hwy 22 that navigate the marshy terrain. Small, isolated bodies of water like Bailey Lake and Smith Lake are primary landmarks in this low-lying territory, which remains largely defined by its natural watercourses and the seasonal ebb and flow of its massive wetland complexes.
