2016 Map of Norman Lake

About this map

Norman Lake and the winding course of the Tamarac River anchor this remote wetland landscape along the boundary of Beltrami and Koochiching counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hydrologic features, including the Little Tamarac River and the Lost River, which underscore the region's importance to Minnesota's northern watershed. The human footprint is marked primarily by rural infrastructure and land management routes like Forrest Road 96 and Co Rd 40. Specific local landmarks such as Steel Bridge Rd Ne and Rice Paddy Rd Ne suggest the intersection of transport and specialized agriculture or natural resource access. This 2016 survey captures the precise township and range divisions, such as t154n r30w, showing how these survey lines overlay a complex system of marshes and river bends.
