About this map

Decker Lake and its surrounding wetlands define this Northwoods landscape, where the Third River snakes through the southern portion of the quadrangle. The area is characterized by a high density of water bodies, including Coleman Lake, Skimerhorn Lake, and Chinaman Lake, linked by a network of drainage systems like Skimerhorn Creek and Spring Creek.

A sparse network of roads provides access to these remote waters, with Alvwood Rd NE and Co Hwy 32 serving as primary east-west corridors. Local named routes such as Jackpine Cutoff Rd NE and Coleman Lake Rd NE suggest the importance of timber and recreation to this part of Beltrami County. The drainage pattern, particularly the way Everton Creek and Moose Creek navigate the level terrain, illustrates the complex hydrology of the Minnesota headwaters region.
