2013 Map of Grant Lake

About this map

The Mississippi River winds through the heart of this Northwoods landscape, shaping the boundaries and hydrology of the border between Beltrami Co and Hubbard Co. This 2013 survey illustrates a region defined by its numerous water bodies and glacial depressions, including Rice Lake and the chain formed by Grant Lake, Twin Lakes, and Bootleg Lake. The terrain is characterized by subtle elevation changes and significant wetlands, with drainage provided by watercourses like Grant Cr and Hennepin Cr. Modern road development is evident through a grid of secondary routes such as Becida Rd SW and Co Hwy 3, which provide access to residential pockets and local landmarks like the Bear Den. The map provides a contemporary look at the rural intersection of these two counties before further 21st-century development altered the shoreline properties.
