About this map

Heart Lake and its surrounding wetlands anchor this Clearwater County landscape, where the transition from open water to marshy sloughs defines the local geography. The area around Stevens Gem is characterized by a high density of small lakes and seasonal basins, including Minerva Lake to the north and the connected waters of Sucker Lake and Long Lake to the south. This network of aquatic features is linked by Bear Cr and Sucker Cr, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Minnesota north woods.

Transportation through this glaciated terrain relies on a grid of local connectors and trails such as Sugar Bush Rd and Mallard Grade Trl. Large lowland depressions like Bagley Slough and Klepps Slough suggest areas of limited development, preserving the natural character of the lake country. This survey provides a precise view of the local infrastructure and natural hydrography just before the turn of the decade.
