2010 Map of Grant Lake

About this map

The Mississippi River winds through this northern landscape, joined by its namesake tributary, the Little Mississippi River. This 2010 survey highlights a complex network of glacial water bodies and wetlands in Beltrami County, where the river's path is defined by significant wetlands like Rice Lake. The map reveals how the modern road system, including County Hwy-14 and Becida Rd SW, navigates the interspersed water systems of Grant Lake, Bootleg Lake, and the smaller Little Boot Lake. A notable hydrologic feature is Hennepin Creek, which flows south toward Diamond Lake, illustrating the drainage patterns that characterize this portion of the headwaters region. The alignment of roads like Beltrami Line Rd and Division St W reflects the rural section-line development typical of the Minnesota northwoods.
