2019 Map of Heart Lake

About this map

Heart Lake and its surrounding wetlands anchor this Clearwater County landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and low-lying sloughs. The presence of both the Railroad Grade Trl and the Mallard Grade Trl indicates a historical reliance on heavy transport corridors for timber or transit across the watery terrain. These straight-line paths cut through the irregular shorelines of Mud Lake, Tamarack Lake, and Mallard Lake, providing a clear record of how industry shaped movement through the North Woods. Near the southern edge of the survey, the Stevens Cem sits just off Anchor Matson Rd, offering a specific point of interest for genealogists tracking early local families. The map also documents the drainage of the area via Hier Cr and Sucker Cr, connecting smaller bodies like Carver Lake and Klepps Slough into the broader regional watershed.
