2010 Map of Nett Lake SW

About this map

Nett Lake dominates the northeast corner of this Koochiching County landscape, serving as the headwaters for the westward-winding Nett Lake River. This 2010 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region of Northern Minnesota defined by its intricate drainage systems and a dedicated network of tribal and reservation roads. The southern portion of the quadrangle is marked by the meandering path of Prairie Creek and the Little Fork River, which cuts through the southwestern corner. Transportation in this area relies heavily on routes such as Reservation Hwy 3 and Res Hwy 7, reflecting the management of the land by the U.S. Department of the Interior. The map provides a clear view of the natural watercourse patterns before they join larger systems beyond the quadrangle's borders.
