About this map

Upper Red Lake and Lower Red Lake define this unique geographic corridor within the Red Lake Reservation. The settlement of Ponemah occupies the central rising ground of the peninsula, serving as a primary hub for local transportation and community life. The landscape between these two massive bodies of water is marked by a network of reservation roads, including Resvn Hwy 18 and Resvn Hwy 49, which connect the scattered residential pockets and tribal lands.

Contour lines reveal the subtle elevations of the peninsula, which stands in stark contrast to the surrounding expansive waters. Local routes like Camp Rd and N Shore Rd provide access to the lakeshores, while the interior is divided by the Public Land Survey System grids of t153n r34w and t153n r33w. This 2016 survey documents the modern infrastructure and environmental boundaries of this significant Ojibwe community.
