2019 Map of Lawrence Lake East

About this map

The Prairie River meanders through this heavily glaciated pocket of Itasca County, defining a landscape of interconnected basins and wetlands. Central to this map is a cluster of prominent water bodies including Thirty Lake, Bray Lake, and the uniquely named Trestle Lake, which sits east of the Scenic Hwy. The hydrology here is complex, with Balsam Cr feeding into Lower Balsam Lake in the north, while the southern reaches are dominated by the Sucker Brook system and Big Sucker Lake. The map reveals a network of local routes like N Twin Bridges Rd and S Crooked Lake Rd that provide access to seasonal camps and remote shoreline properties. The dense concentration of small lakes like Bass Lake and Fourth Sucker Lake underscores the area's character as a classic Minnesota lake country retreat.
