2013 Map of Norman Lake NE

About this map

Tamarac River meanders across the center of this 2013 survey of northeastern Koochiching County, defining the drainage patterns of this remote northern Minnesota landscape. The area is characterized by its significant hydrological features, where the Sturgeon River enters from the east and the Lost River flows through the southern reaches. This modern U.S. Geological Survey topographic study documents the region's wilderness character just after the turn of the 21st century, showing a terrain largely defined by its natural watercourses and sparse development. It serves as a clear record of the undisturbed boreal hydrology before any further environmental shifts or infrastructure changes in this portion of the North Woods.
