2013 Map of Nett Lake

About this map

Nett Lake and its surrounding wetlands define this portion of the Bois Forte Reservation in northern Minnesota. The settlement of Nett Lake occupies the eastern shore of its namesake water body, situated near Big Point and Spirit Island. The terrain is characterized by a network of local roads and thoroughfares, including Bois Fort Rd and several reservation highways like Res Hwy 11 and Res Hwy 18. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the winding course of Prairie Cr, while the northeastern corner shows the drainage of Portage Cr. For those interested in local landmarks, the Heritage Lookout Tower stands as a prominent point of interest south of the lake, accessed via Industrial Ave and Blacklock Trl. The boundary between Koochiching and St. Louis counties bisects the lake and the landscape, marking an important jurisdictional division in this remote region.
