2016 Map of Birchdale SW

About this map

The Willis River winds through the southern reaches of this Koochiching County landscape, defining the hydrology of a region dominated by extensive wetlands and seasonal watercourses. This 2016 survey illustrates the remote character of Northern Minnesota, where human infrastructure is largely confined to a grid of rural routes such as State Rd and Frontier Farmers Rd. The drainage patterns are further marked by McCloud Cr in the northeast and the isolated Lost Lake near the eastern boundary. The Public Land Survey System lines for t159n r28w and surrounding townships provide the primary framework for this territory, reflecting a landscape where large-scale resource management and conservation are more prominent than dense residential settlement.
