2019 Map of Deer Lake NW

About this map

Myrtle Lake and Shine Lake anchor a landscape defined by extensive wetlands and seasonal waterways in northern Minnesota. This 2019 survey documents a sparsely populated area near the Koochiching and Itasca County line, where the terrain is dominated by complex drainage systems and peatlands. The presence of Reilly Brook cutting through the center of the sheet highlights the importance of natural drainage in this low-relief region. Access through the dense woods and bogs is facilitated by a network of forest and county roads, including N Lofgrin Rd, Holstrom Rd, and S Lofgrin Forest Rd. These corridors serve as the primary infrastructure for local land management and timber access within the township-and-range divisions, providing a clear view of how modern survey lines overlay the natural hydrology of the northern woods.
