About this map

The Mississippi River winds through the heart of this landscape, connecting a chain of major glacial lakes including Lake Irving, Lake Bemidji, and Lake Marquette. The city of Bemidji serves as the regional anchor, where established neighborhoods meet the shoreline near Greenwood Cem and the Holy Cross Cem. The presence of the Oak Hills Christian Coll and Moberg Air Base highlights the diverse educational and aviation infrastructure that defines the western reaches of the city.

To the south, the Schoolcraft River feeds into the expansive Lake Plantagenet, which straddles the boundary between Beltrami Co and Hubbard Co. This map captures a intricate water network where smaller bodies like Fern Lake, Newman Lake, and Spearhead Lake are interspersed with low-lying wetlands and local landmarks like Wilton Cem. The layout of the modern road grid, including US Hwy 71 Old, shows the evolution of transport around these established waters.
