About this map

Chippewa National Forest lands dominate this northern Minnesota landscape along the border of Beltrami and Itasca counties. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and small glacial lakes, including the central Skimerhorn Lake and the southern Decker Lake. The Third River flows through the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a primary drainage for the surrounding marshy lowlands.

Surface water is the primary geographic feature here, with numerous named streams such as Skimerhorn Cr, Spring Cr, and Everton Cr threading between clusters of small basins like Chinaman Lake, Dollar Lake, and Christenson Lake. A sparse grid of rural roads, including Alvwood Rd NE and Co Hwy 32, provides access to these timberlands and water bodies, illustrating the typical forest management and recreational patterns of the early twenty-first century.
