2019 Map of Norman Lake NE

About this map

Sturgeon River flows through the northern reaches of this Koochiching County landscape, defining a remote wilderness character typical of northern Minnesota. The area is characterized by a dense network of wetlands and seasonal watercourses, including the Tamarac River and Lost River, which meander through the public land survey divisions of t155n r29w and t154n r28w. This 2019 survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, illustrates a landscape largely defined by its natural hydrology, with very few man-made structures or roads present. The confluence of these water systems in the Big Bog region reveals the undisturbed drainage patterns of the northern woods, offering an essential reference for environmental historians and those studying the preservation of Minnesota's native peatlands.
