About this map

Bemidji sits at the southern edge of this north-central Minnesota landscape, where the urban edge meets a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The city's expansion is evident near the Bemidji Regional Airport, while the surrounding terrain is defined by scattered settlements like Wilton and the smaller community of Werner to the north. This 2019 survey documents a complex hydrological system characterized by large bodies of water such as Turtle Lake, Movil Lake, and the namesake Peterson Lake.

The lake-country geography is overlaid with a modern grid of county roads and residential lanes, including Co Rd 301 and Grange Rd NW, which provide access to the numerous shorelines. For those researching local burial sites, the Northern Cem is a prominent landmark north of the city. The map illustrates the transition from the structured street layouts in the south to the more dispersed, water-dominated rural areas nearing Lake Campbell and Des Moines Lake.
