2022 Map of Ridge SW

About this map

The Lost River meanders across this northern Minnesota landscape, carving a slow path through the extensive wetlands of Koochiching County. This 2022 survey captures a largely undeveloped wilderness defined by its complex hydrography and the transition between several township boundaries, including t153n r28w and t153n r27w. Transport through this remote terrain is limited to a few established corridors, most notably the Blue Ox State Trail MS84.029 Trl, which follows a former railroad grade in the southeastern corner. Local access is supported by roads like Lost River Rd and Gemmell Ridge Rd. The map provides a contemporary record of the region’s public land survey system, illustrating how section lines and township ranges structure this vast stretch of the Minnesota Northwoods.
