2016 Map of Norman Lake SW

About this map

Shotley Brook and the Little Tamarac River wind through this low-lying region of northern Minnesota during the mid-2010s. The landscape is defined by its extensive wetlands and a geometric network of forest and access roads that follow the Public Land Survey System lines. Notable corridors like Balsiger Forest Rd and Sunny Beach Rd Ne provide access through the dense terrain, while specialized routes such as Snowmobile Rd Ne reflect the recreational and seasonal uses of the land. The boundary between Beltrami and Koochiching Counties bisects the eastern portion of the map, marking a transition in jurisdictional oversight within this sparsely developed wilderness. The presence of Ditch 10 Rd Ne suggests historical efforts to manage the area's hydrology for land use or resource management.
