About this map

Lower Red Lake dominates the northern horizon of this landscape in Beltrami County, where the settlement of Little Rock sits along the shoreline at the mouth of Little Rock Cr. This environment is defined by an intricate network of water bodies, from the larger Kesagiagan Lake and Balm Lake in the west to the smaller pockets of Muerlin Lake and Thunder Lake to the east. The terrain is crisscrossed by roads with culturally significant names such as Nay Ah Shing and Walking Shield Rd, reflecting the local heritage of the Red Lake Reservation.

Further south, the community of Island Lake serves as a local focal point near the Island Lake Cem. The presence of Lumberjack Rd NW and Alfalfa Dr NW suggests a history of timber and agricultural activity that shaped the development of these small lakefront clusters. This 2016 survey captures the area's transition between the open waters of the north and the densely lake-dotted woodlands to the south.
