2011 Map of Dutton Lake

About this map

Ottertrack Lake and South Arm Knife Lake dominate this remote northern landscape along the boundary between Minnesota and Ontario. This 2011 survey reveals a territory defined entirely by its complex hydrography, where narrow fingers of water and irregular shorelines suggest a glacier-carved terrain. The map serves as a vital guide for those navigating the historical water routes of the borderlands, specifically identifying the Little Knife Portage as a critical overland link between major water bodies. Smaller, isolated basins such as Dutton Lake, Conic Lake, Topaz Lake, and Amoeber Lake are scattered throughout the quadrangle, illustrating the dense network of interior lakes that characterize this wilderness region. There are no roads or permanent settlements recorded on this sheet, emphasizing the area's preservation as a primitive aquatic corridor.
