2022 Map of Pimushe Lake

About this map

Chippewa National Forest surrounds this water-dense landscape in Beltrami County, defined by a complex network of glacial lakes and the winding Turtle River. The central focus is the sprawling Pimushe Lake, which is connected to nearby Little Pimushe Lake and Big Rice Lake through a series of channels and wetlands. This 2022 survey captures the contemporary layout of forest access roads, such as Co Rd 20 and Scenic Hwy NE, which navigate the fragmented terrain between major bodies of water like North Twin Lake and South Twin Lake. Evidence of local heritage and the rural community is found at the Sugar Bush Township Cem located near the intersection of several forest routes. The map also delineates recreational paths including the Webster Lake Walking Trl, illustrating the area's modern land use as a hub for forestry and seasonal outdoor activity.
