About this map

Moose Cr and Buttons Brook define the drainage patterns of this northern Minnesota landscape in Lake of the Woods County. The terrain is characterized by extensive wetlands and low-lying topography common to the region south of the Rainy River. Transportation is limited to a sparse grid of rural routes including Co Rd 1 in the north and Co Rd 77 in the south, while the interior is largely traversed by section-line roads like 71st St SE and 3rd Ave SW.

Divided between townships t158n r31w and t158n r30w, the area is primarily undeveloped, reflecting the remote nature of the Minnesota-Ontario borderlands. Researchers can observe how the modern Public Land Survey System maintains the structural layout of this sparsely populated wilderness, where the reliance on county-maintained thoroughfares remains essential for access to the interior wetlands and forests.
