2013 Map of O'Leary Lake

About this map

Prairie River and its associated waterways define this glacial landscape of northern Itasca County. The central corridor is dominated by MN-65, which provides the primary access through a region characterized by numerous isolated basins and wetlands. Significant water bodies like O' Leary Lake and Buck Lake are focal points of the hydrography, connected by a network of drainage systems including Day Brook and the East River. Secondary access into the timbered terrain is provided by local routes such as Bower Lake Forest Rd and Day Brook River Rd. Smaller, more secluded waters like Little Moose Lake and McGrady Lake suggest a landscape largely shaped by its natural drainage patterns, with the river systems flowing through varied elevations to the larger Prairie Lake.
