2014 Map of Metigoshe Lake

About this map

Metigoshe Lake dominates the northwest corner of this Bottineau County landscape, straddling the international boundary within the Turtle Mountains. The complex shoreline of the lake is defined by residential developments and leisure sites including Masonic Island, Bear Island, and Mackay Island, all situated near the central passage known as The Narrows. This early 21st-century survey illustrates the intricate relationship between the region's dense kettle-lake topography and its modern recreational infrastructure, with numerous seasonal roads like Sunset Bay Rd and Glen Acre Rd providing access to points like Rugby Point and Squaw Point. Beyond the main lake, the terrain transitions into a more secluded wetland environment characterized by smaller bodies of water such as School Section Lake, Pelican Lake, and Bear Lake to the south.
