About this map

Upper Red Lake dominates the southern reaches of this landscape in Beltrami County, defining the boundary between vast wetlands and the open waters of one of Minnesota's most significant inland basins. The terrain is characterized by an extensive marsh system that stretches northward from the shoreline, where the slow-moving waters of Manomin Creek traverse the low-lying interior. This hydrological pattern reflects the post-glacial character of northern Minnesota, where drainage is minimal and the land remains largely untouched by dense settlement or road networks.
