2019 Map of Baudette SE

About this map

Monroe is the central reference point in this corner of Lake of the Woods County, where the northern wetlands of Minnesota meet a winding hydrological network. The Rapid River and its tributary, the N Br Rapid River, carve through the terrain, joined by the smaller Bartons Brook to the southeast. This 2019 survey shows a landscape defined by expansive peatlands and bogs, characteristic of the northern border country. The human imprint is largely constrained to a grid of rural routes, including Co Hwy 16 and Co Rd 110, which provide access through the dense wetland vegetation. The layout of these roads and the township boundaries, such as t159n r31w and t158n r30w, reflect the systematic partitioning of this remote wilderness, where drainage patterns and water levels dictate the placement of every mile of gravel and pavement.
