2019 Map of Ponemah

About this map

Upper Red Lake and Lower Red Lake are joined by the slender aquatic corridor of The Narrows, which defines the western edge of this peninsula. The settlement of Ponemah is the central hub of activity, situated on the land bridge between these two massive bodies of water. The landscape is marked by a network of reservation roads, including Resvn Hwy 49 and Resvn Hwy 18, which trace the interior and shoreline routes used by the local community. The topography reveals a mix of low-lying wetland areas near the water's edge and slightly elevated ridges toward the interior, illustrated by local thoroughfares like Ponemah Mariff Rd and Camp Rd. This survey provides a clear view of the geographic isolation and unique water-based orientation of this northern Minnesota community in the late 2010s.
