About this map

Moose Lake and Little Moose Lake dominate this northern landscape, which sits at the intersection of several managed wilderness areas in the mid-1990s. The map illustrates the complex overlay of the Chippewa National Forest, Blackduck State Forest, and the northern reaches of the Leech Lake Indian Reservation. These jurisdictional boundaries converge amidst a dense network of water bodies, including the expansive Kitchi Lake and the smaller Gimmer Lake, which features a Boat Access.

Signs of local community life and industry appear at the southern edge near the Kitchi Pines Church and an adjacent Cemetery. Resource extraction is evident through scattered Gravel Pits and Sandpits, while the Morph Meadow Wildlife Mgt Area and State Waterfowl Refuge highlight a commitment to conservation. The terrain is defined by the Beltrami and Itasca county line, cutting through forests and meadows such as Morph Meadow.
