2013 Map of Oaks Corner NE

About this map

The Rapid River and its northern branch, the N Br Rapid River, wind through this northern Minnesota landscape, creating a drainage network defined by low-lying wetlands and periodic water bodies. Thief Lake sits in the northern reaches of the area, while Miller Cr feeds into the main river system from the southeast. The infrastructure of the region is centered on forestry and resource access, marked by the long stretch of the Pitt Grade SW and the primitive paths of the Bankton Forest Rd. A significant crossing point is found at Peplin Bridge, where Rapid River Rd meets the water. This 2013 survey illustrates the remote, hydrologically complex character of Lake of the Woods County, where the transition between river systems and seasonal lakes dictates the placement of the few established forest roads.
