About this map

Little Rock sits at the intersection of Res Hwy 10 and Res Hwy 89, anchoring a landscape defined by an dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands in northern Minnesota. This 2010 survey highlights the extensive water systems of the region, from the wide reaches of Kesagiagan Lake and Island Lake to smaller, distinct bodies like Mina Lake and Ankeewinsee Lake. The terrain is woven together by watercourses such as Little Rock Creek and Sandy River, which connect these varied basins.

Transportation through this wetland-rich area follows established reservation routes, including Res Hwy 1 and Res Hwy 68. Evidence of local history and community life appears at the Island Lake Cemetery, situated near the southern settlement of Island Lake. The map illustrates the careful navigation of roads around complex lake shorelines, showing how geography dictates the placement of routes like Lumberjack Rd NW.
