2011 Map of Dixon Lake

About this map

Lake Winnibigoshish dominates the southeastern corner of this northern Minnesota landscape, where the Third River flows through a complex network of wetlands and smaller basins. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a region defined by its hydrography and an extensive system of forest roads. The terrain is characterized by numerous glacial lakes, including the centrally located Minisogama Lake and the western Morph Lake. Transportation across this watery geography relies on a web of timber and access routes such as Forest Rd 2171 and Old County 35. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage patterns where Castle Creek and Crane Creek feed into the larger river system, reflecting the area's role as part of a significant freshwater ecosystem. Notable smaller bodies like Bog Lake and Kenogama Lake further underscore the saturated nature of the local environment.
