2013 Map of Manitou

About this map

The W Fork Black River meanders across this northern Minnesota landscape in Koochiching County, showing the intricate drainage patterns characteristic of this low-relief region. Surveyed in 2013, the map illustrates the winding course of the west fork through a territory largely defined by subtle elevation changes and expansive wetlands. The absence of developed roads or major settlements within this specific quadrangle emphasizes its character as a remote wilderness area where natural hydrology remains the primary geographic feature. Researchers can trace the river's path as it bends through the northern and eastern sections of the terrain, providing a look at the hydrography of the Big Fork River basin.
