2013 Map of Mosquito Creek

About this map

Lower Red Lake dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, its expansive shoreline forming the primary geographical feature of the region. This 2013 survey illustrates the sparse, watery terrain where the drainage of Mosquito Cr feeds into the larger lake basin. The map documents a significant administrative boundary where Beltrami Co and Clearwater Co meet, a line that cuts through the southwest corner of the quadrangle. Transportation is limited to a few key corridors, primarily Mn-1 and Res Hwy 27, which provide access through the relatively undeveloped northern acreage. The topography is characterized by low-lying wetland systems and subtle elevation changes, typical of the northern Minnesota lake country.
