About this map

The community of Puposky sits along the eastern shore of Puposky Lake in this northern Minnesota landscape dominated by a network of interconnected glacial lakes and wetlands. The geography is defined by significant water bodies such as Lake Julia, Little Turtle Lake, and Rice Lake, which are linked by the Turtle River as it flows through the southern portion of the quadrangle. This area serves as a primary drainage basin for the northern woods, evidenced by the numerous named creeks and lakes that populate the township lines of T149N and T148N.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Turtle Lake Cem located near the riverbank. The road network, including Co Hwy 13 and Great Divide Rd NW, provides access to the various lakefronts and smaller settlements like those near Little Puposky Lake. The presence of many family-named roads such as Knutson Rd NW and Lavelle Dr NW suggests a history of long-standing rural landholdings and seasonal dwellings throughout the lake district.
