2013 Map of Gates Corner

About this map

Gates Corner sits at a remote crossroads in northern Minnesota, marking a sparse settlement pattern characteristic of this portion of Beltrami County. The landscape is defined by its low-lying, often marshy topography and a rectilinear grid of rural roads and trails. North-south transit is dominated by Dicks Parkway Rd, while east-west movement relies on Moose River Rd and Gladens Trl. This early 21st-century survey illustrates how contemporary land use continues to follow the established surveyor's lines, with significant portions of the terrain remaining undeveloped or utilized for forestry and wildlife passage. The presence of Morehouse Rd at the northern edge suggests the edge of localized landholdings in an otherwise open, low-relief wilderness area.
