2010 Map of Manitou

About this map

The West Fork Black River meanders across the central portion of this northern Minnesota landscape, creating a serpentine drainage pattern through the low-lying terrain. This 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a region defined primarily by its hydrological features and a sparse network of rural transit routes. The infrastructure is characterized by several arterial roads, including County Hwy-84, which provides a north-south connection across the quadrangle. Other routes such as County Hwy-148 and County Hwy-149 intersect in the northwest corner, outlining the basic grid of the county road system. The lack of concentrated settlement labels suggests a wilderness or timber-focused area, where the primary landmarks are the river and its small tributaries branching off into the surrounding wetland-rich environment.
