2019 Map of Decker Lake

About this map

The Chippewa National Forest defines the northern Minnesota landscape of this 2019 survey, where the border between Beltrami and Itasca counties crosses a dense network of wetlands and small glacial lakes. A sophisticated system of drainage is evident in the winding courses of Skimerhorn Cr and Everton Cr, which feed into larger bodies of water like Christenson Lake and Skimerhorn Lake. To the south, the terrain opens into a complex of interconnected basins including Decker Lake, Coleman Lake, and the meandering Third River. This area is characterized by its heavy concentration of peatlands and swamps, intersected by a grid of rural roads such as Old School Rd and Rabideau Lake Rd NE. Local landmarks like Chinaman Lake and Dollar Lake sit near the southern boundary, illustrating the distinctive naming conventions of the region's hydrography.
