About this map

Upper Red Lake dominates the southern half of this landscape in northern Minnesota, where the shoreline marks a sharp transition from open water to the extensive wetlands of Beltrami County. The northern section is defined by a dense network of water management and transport routes, including the prominent channel of Ditch Number Thirty and the meandering course of the Deer River. This terrain is accessed primarily by the Consolidated Conservation Trails Trl and Blanchard Trl NE, which skirt the northern edge of the lake. These features reflect the mid-twentieth-century efforts to manage the peatlands and forests of the Red Lake Indian Reservation for conservation and forestry, creating a distinctive pattern of straight-line drainage cuts juxtaposed with natural riparian systems.
