2013 Map of Shilling Dam

About this map

Rapid River flows through the northern reaches of this remote Minnesota landscape, defining the character of the borderlands between Beltrami Co and Lake of the Woods Co. This survey illustrates the sparse development of the region, where the primary infrastructure consists of Rapid River Rd cutting through the terrain. The map captures a quiet, northern wilderness defined more by its natural watercourse and county boundaries than by human settlement, providing an essential record of the area's geography at the start of the 2010s. The topography is predominantly low-lying, influenced by the drainage patterns of the river system as it moves toward the northern county line.
