About this map

The Minnesota-Wisconsin border runs vertically through this landscape, dividing Pine and Douglas Counties across a vast network of wetlands and small waterways. The settlement of Belden serves as a central landmark in this drainage basin, where the Gandy Dancer State Trail follows the corridor of a former railroad line. This north-south transit spine is intersected by various forest paths, including the Washington/Ramsey Trl and the Nemadji State Forest Trails Trl.

Water defines the topography, with Black Lake situated in the northeast corner and the Spruce River winding through the southeast. Numerous small tributaries such as McDermott Cr, Hay Cr, and W Br Hay Cr feed into the marshy lowlands. The presence of routes like Swedish Hwy and E Stuart Rd indicates the sparse but organized road network that supports the local timber and recreation economy in this borderland region.
