2022 Map of Little Prairie Lake

About this map

Little Prairie Lake and Roosevelt Lake anchor this aquatic landscape at the intersection of Aitkin, St. Louis, and Carlton Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of wetlands and watercourses, including the E Savanna River and the Prairie River. A notable historical path, the Portage Trl, cuts through the northern sections, indicating an era when these waterways were essential travel corridors for indigenous people and early explorers between the Mississippi and Lake Superior basins. A modest grid of rural roads, such as Basalm Forrest Rd and Rasmussen Rd, provides contemporary access to the backcountry, reflecting the modern management of this lake-strewn wilderness near the transition between northern forest and marshland.
