2016 Map of Ridge NW

About this map

Sturgeon River flows across this northern Minnesota landscape, creating a meandering path through the wetlands of Koochiching County. The area is defined by its extensive aquatic networks, including the smaller Hay Cr which feeds into the larger drainage system. As part of a 2016 study, the data reflects the complex hydrology of the region, where seasonal water levels and natural flow patterns dominate the geography. The map is organized by the Public Land Survey System, specifically demarcating the boundaries of t155n r28w and t155n r27w among others. This remote territory in the Big Fork River watershed remains largely undeveloped, preserving the original character of the North Woods water systems as they existed in the early 21st century.
