About this map

Valley River snakes through this northern Minnesota landscape, crossing the shared border of Koochiching and Itasca Counties. This interior wilderness is defined by its extensive wetlands and numerous small, secluded water bodies such as Pocquette Lake, Franklin Lake, and Candy Lake. The drainage pattern is driven by the Gardner Brook system and the wandering Valley River, which carves through the southern sections of the quadrangle.

Local infrastructure is sparse, limited primarily to logging and access routes like Holstrum Rd and the Holstrum Spur Trl in the north, and Button Box Rd to the south. These trails provide the only terrestrial links through the dense townships of t63n r23w and t64n r24w. This 2016 survey documents the region's hydrography before any major modern development, preserving the footprint of remote landmarks like Lost Lake and Harrigan Lake.
