2013 Map of Little Prairie Lake

About this map

The E Savanna River and Prairie River define the hydraulic character of this northern Minnesota landscape, where the borders of Aitkin, St. Louis, and Carlton counties meet. This 2013 survey captures a region primarily shaped by wetlands and glacial lakes, including Little Prairie Lake and Roosevelt Lake. The drainage patterns suggest a low-relief basin where the rivers meander extensively through marshes, a typical feature of this part of Beseman Township. Local travel is facilitated by a sparse network of rural routes such as Basalm Forest Rd, Graff Rd, and Rasmussen Rd. These roads provide the primary access to the isolated lakefronts and forested tracts that characterize the area's modern land use.
