2013 Map of Birchdale SE

About this map

The W Fork Black River meanders across this northern Minnesota landscape, defining the hydrology of an area primarily characterized by its drainage patterns and low-lying topography. Located in Koochiching County, this 2013 survey illustrates a sparsely developed region where transport is limited to a few arterial routes like Co Hwy-86 and local connectors such as Ut 118. The map documents the quiet isolation of the North Woods, where Lost Lake sits tucked away from the main road networks. This U.S. Geological Survey data provides a clear record of the physical geography and road infrastructure in the Birchdale SE quadrangle, showing how the river system dictates the placement of the sparse township roads and highway corridors through the peatlands and forests.
