About this map

Puposky sits at the eastern edge of the large water body that shares its name, serving as a central point in this lake-filled landscape of Beltrami County. This 2010 survey illustrates a region defined by its complex glacial hydrology, where Puposky Lake and Little Puposky Lake are part of a dense network of basins including Lake Julia, Long Lake, and Bog Lake. The presence of the Puposky Post Office and the Turtle Lake Cemetery provides essential touchstones for local genealogists and historians tracking family settlements in the area.

The landscape is further characterized by the winding Turtle River and the Mud River, which connect several of the smaller lakes like Rice Lake and George Lake. In the southeastern corner, the Buena Vista Ski Area near Crane Lake indicates the area's recreational utility. A grid of rural roads, such as Great Divide Rd NW and Puposky Rd NW, provides access to these isolated water bodies and the surrounding woodlands.
