2019 Map of Pimushe Lake

About this map

The Chippewa National Forest encompasses this water-rich portion of Beltrami County, defined by a complex network of glacial lakes and the winding course of the Turtle River. The landscape is dominated by large bodies of water including Pimushe Lake, Big Rice Lake, and North Twin Lake, interspersed with smaller basins like Drury Lake and Murk Lake. This 2019 survey documents the modern recreational and conservation infrastructure of the region, specifically noted by the Webster Lake Bog Walk-Hiking trail near Webster Lake. Human presence is largely concentrated along established forest routes like Scenic Hwy NE and Birchmont Beach Rd NE. For those looking into local history, the Sugar Bush Township Cem stands as a notable landmark of the area's rural township development among the dense woods and wetlands.
