2016 Map of Red Lake OE N

About this map

Lower Red Lake dominates this northern Minnesota landscape, where the vast water body meets the southern shoreline in the Red Lake Indian Reservation. The map focuses on the ribbon of development along the lake’s edge, including the primary community of Red Lake and the smaller settlement of Little Rock. These residential and civic clusters are connected by Hospital Rd as it skirts the shoreline. Local history and genealogy interest is concentrated in several sites, most notably the Red Lake Cem located near the water. The topography is largely defined by the water’s edge and the projection of Little Rock Point into the lake, illustrating the traditional settlement patterns of the region where habitation follows the natural curve of the shoreline.
