2022 Map of Clementson SW

About this map

Rapid River winds through this heavily forested and wetland-rich landscape on the border of Lake of the Woods and Koochiching counties. This 2022 survey captures a remote wilderness area defined by the meandering courses of Bartons Brook and the E Fork Rapid River. The terrain is characterized by expansive marshes and low-lying brush, typical of Northern Minnesota's bog country. Settlement is sparse, with human activity primarily marked by a grid of rural connector roads and section lines. Notable local infrastructure includes Tamarack Dr SE and Hay Creek Rd SE, which provide access to the interior for logging or seasonal recreation. The map meticulously documents the drainage patterns of the region, showing where smaller tributaries like Bartons Brook intersect with the primary river system, reflecting the complex hydrology that continues to shape this quiet corner of the state.
