2019 Map of Deer Lake NE

About this map

The Koochiching Co and Itasca Co border divides this Northern Minnesota landscape, a region defined by its complex network of waterways and wetlands. The Valley River meanders across the southern portion of the sheet, connecting several remote water bodies including Franklin Lake, Pocquette Lake, and Harrigan Lake. This 2019 survey shows a terrain largely managed for timber and conservation, where narrow routes like Holstrum Rd and the Holstrum Spur Trl provide the primary access into the interior. These roads trace the higher ground between basins like Candy Lake and Lost Lake, illustrating the challenge of navigating the boggy stretches of the north woods. The drainage patterns are further marked by Gardner Brook, which flows through the northern townships, highlighting the hydrologic connectivity that has shaped this corner of the state.
