2010 Map of Hilman Lake

About this map

Hilman Lake lies at the center of this sparse landscape in Beltrami County, representing the characteristic wetland and glacial terrain of northern Minnesota. This 2010 survey illustrates the extensive human intervention in the region's hydrology through features like Ditch Number Thirty, which cuts across the terrain to manage water flow. The map reflects a predominantly natural area with a geometric grid of local roads and property boundaries, typical of the region’s development in the early 21st century. Researchers interested in northern water management systems will find the precise placement of these ditches and small water bodies informative for understanding the local environment and land use patterns.
