2013 Map of Chase Brook NE

About this map

Moose Creek and Bartons Brook define the hydrologic character of this northern landscape in Lake of the Woods County. The terrain is notably flat, dominated by the expansive wetlands and peatlands characteristic of the region south of the Canadian border. Human infrastructure is concentrated along two primary corridors: MN-72, which runs north-south through the center of the quadrangle, and Co HWY-1, which skirts the northern boundary. These roads provide the essential framework for transit through this sparsely populated area, where the vast drainage patterns of the northern woods remain the primary geographic influence. The map illustrates a moment in the early 21st century where the wilderness remains largely intact, punctuated only by these critical state and county transit routes.
