2019 Map of Hartley Lake

About this map

Hartley Lake and the winding course of the W Fork Prairie River define this heavily glaciated pocket of the northern Minnesota woods. The landscape is a dense network of water bodies, from the larger White Swan Lake and Round Lake in the northwest to the more isolated Jack Lake and Rahkos Lake further south. The Wolf RR 2 line cuts through the northeastern corner near Wolf Lake, while the Scenic Hwy and a network of county roads like Co Hwy 52 provide access to the various lakefronts and scattered residences. The presence of family-named routes such as Rahko Rd and Murden Rd suggests a history of local landholding and seasonal recreation centered around the region's diverse aquatic features, including Christmas Lake and the secluded Stumple Lake.
