2022 Map of Ross Lake

About this map

Stark Lake and Ross Lake dominate this landscape along the boundary of Crow Wing and Aitkin counties. This region is defined by an intricate network of glacial wetlands and water bodies, where drainage systems like Ross Brook and Mud Brook connect isolated basins such as Lows Lake and Snodgrass Lake. The presence of Blind Lake Trail and the Blind Lake Connector Trail suggests a landscape managed for recreational use and forestry, a common pattern in this part of Minnesota. The map reveals the layout of rural access through named routes like County Road 36 and County Highway 1, which serve small residential clusters and seasonal cabins near the shores of Coon Lake and Thompson Lake. This detailed view of the t137n r25w and t48n r27w townships provides a precise record of the shoreline geometry and wetland boundaries as they existed in the early 21st century.
