2010 Map of Norman Lake NE

About this map

Sturgeon River flows through this northern Minnesota landscape, where the hydrography is defined by a network of winding waterways. The low-lying terrain of Koochiching County is further shaped by the presence of the Tamarac River and the appropriately named Lost River, which meanders across the southern portion of the quadrangle. This 2010 survey reflects a largely undeveloped wilderness area, showing the natural drainage patterns of the boreal forest and peatlands before these waters reach larger northern basins. The scarcity of named landmarks and roads highlights the remote character of this specific reach of the Minnesota wilderness.
