2022 Map of Grant Lake

About this map

Wilton anchors the northern edge of this northern Minnesota landscape, situated at the boundary where early 21st-century rural development meets an intricate network of glacial wetlands and watercourses. The drainage of the upper Mississippi watershed is clearly defined here, as the Little Mississippi River winds through the central terrain to join the Mississippi River Tri, while Grant Cr and Hennepin Cr feed the larger system from the surrounding woods. The map illustrates a transitional environment where seasonal lowlands and named bodies of water like Rice Lake, Bootleg Lake, and Smith Lake are interspersed with an evolving grid of local roads and residential lanes. This specific geography straddles the Beltrami Co Hubbard Co line, reflecting the modern management of these timber-rich and lake-dotted borderlands.
