2019 Map of Berner

About this map

Berner serves as the focal point of this northern Minnesota landscape, where a grid of reservation and county roads connects remote farmsteads and wetlands. The drainage of the Clearwater River and Butcher Knife Cr dictates the local topography, punctuated by numerous glacial basins such as Wilmoe Lake, Tatge Lake, and Waage Lake. Evidence of the area's pioneer heritage and religious life is preserved at the United Lutheran Cem and Greenwood Lutheran Cem. The map illustrates a region where water and timber define the boundaries of land use, with Ruffy Brook and the Lost River cutting through the southern reaches. This detailed survey provides a clear view of the rural township structure and the distribution of water bodies like Larson Lake and Andersen Lake within the Red Lake Indian Reservation and surrounding Clearwater County.
