2019 Map of Shilling Dam

About this map

Rapid River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, marking a remote section of the border between Lake of the Woods County and Beltrami County. The area is characterized by an extensive wetland network, with few man-made intrusions beyond the namesake Shilling Dam and a sparse grid of forest access roads. The presence of Rapid River Rd SW and Rapid River Rd NW suggests a terrain managed for conservation or timber, where the natural water table dictates the layout of the land. This map provides a clear view of the complex hydrography and public land survey system divisions in this northern Minnesota wilderness, documenting the precise boundary line where these two counties meet.
