2022 Map of Solway

About this map

Solway and Shevlin anchor the southern corridor of this modern survey, marking a landscape defined by the drainage divide between the north-flowing Clearwater River and the headwaters of the Little Mississippi River. The terrain is scattered with numerous small wetlands and basins, including Buzzle Lake in the northeast corner near the settlement of Pinewood. For local history and genealogy research, the map identifies specific community landmarks such as Solway Cem and the Shevlin - Moose Cem. Transport patterns are represented by the established route of Old Jefferson Hwy and the extensive Wilton Trails Northwest Trl system that weaves through the northern sections. The boundary between Clearwater and Beltrami counties bisects the map vertically, illustrating the jurisdictional split of this rural northern Minnesota region.
