About this map

Roy Lake sits at the intersection of MN-200 and 340th Ave, serving as a central geographic point on the boundary between Mahnomen and Clearwater counties. This glacial landscape is defined by its high density of small water bodies and wetlands, including Tamarack Lake, Long Lake, and Horseshoe Lake. The settlement of Mahkonce appears to the west, while Naytahwaush is positioned in the southwestern corner, linked by a network of rural routes such as Res Hwy 14 and BIA Rd 78.

Notable topographic elevations rise above the lake-dotted plains, with Strawberry Mountain, Hogback Hill, and Jack Pine Hill providing distinct landmarks. Waterways like Badboy Cr and Roy Lake Cr weave through the terrain, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the region. The map captures a moment in the early 21st century when these remote settlements remained deeply integrated with the natural lake-and-hill geography of northern Minnesota.
