About this map

Bena sits as a central hub in this northern Minnesota landscape, positioned where US Hwy 2 intersects with a network of forest routes within the Chippewa National Forest. The geography is defined by its proximity to several major water bodies, including the massive southern shore of Lake Winnibigoshish and the eastern fringes of Leech Lake. The terrain is remarkably aquatic, dotted with smaller interior basins like Hole-in-Bog Lake and Blacksmith Lake.

Evidence of local forest management and community infrastructure is visible through landmarks such as the Boulder Hill Lookout Tower and Fairview Cem. A web of service roads, including Forest Rte 3032 and Resvn Hwy 20, facilitates movement through the timberlands, connecting these natural features with the residential core of the township. The drainage of Sixmile Brook and Drumbeater Cr further illustrates the complex hydrology of this glacial region.
