2013 Map of Ponemah NW

About this map

Upper Red Lake dominates the southern portion of this landscape, its expansive shoreline defining the geography of Beltrami County. This 2013 survey shows the north shore area before it reaches the deeper interior, illustrating the sparse network of roads and the subtle relief of the surrounding terrain. Produced by the U.S. Geological Survey using satellite imagery and elevation data, the map tracks the interface between the lake surface and the low-lying wetlands that characterize this part of northern Minnesota. This particular quadrangular view focuses on the unpopulated reaches northwest of Ponemah, where the water meets the shore in a relatively undisturbed state.
