About this map

Bemidji Regional Airport serves as a modern anchor in the southern portion of this landscape, while the surrounding terrain is defined by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and wetlands characteristic of northern Minnesota. The settlement of Werner sits in the northern reaches, surrounded by a network of rural roads such as Campbell Lake Rd NW and Dunne Rd NW. These routes navigate a landscape heavily punctuated by water bodies including Turtle Lake, Peterson Lake, and the smaller Des Moines Lake.

The eastern edge of the map follows the shorelines of Mevil Lake and Horseman Lake, areas where the grid of local roads like Island View Dr NW suggests residential development along the waterfront. Towards the center, Meadow Lake and Alice Lake are enveloped by expansive wetland patterns, illustrating the complex hydrology that dictated the placement of early townships and the Northern Cem. The transition from the managed airspace of the airport to these wilder lake-studded corridors reflects the enduring character of Beltrami County.
