2016 Map of Norman Lake NE

About this map

Sturgeon River winds through the northern reaches of this Koochiching County landscape, a prime example of the interconnected hydrology that defines the northern Minnesota wilderness. This 2016 survey highlights a remote and largely undeveloped terrain where the Tamarac River and the Lost River create a complex network of waterways across township boundaries. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid, documenting the divisions of T155N R29W and surrounding ranges. For those studying the environmental history or remote geography of the region, the placement of these rivers within the sprawling wetland corridors illustrates the natural drainage patterns that have historically dictated access and land use in this part of the state.
