2013 Map of Steamboat Lake

About this map

The Necktie River meanders through this portion of the northern Minnesota lake country, defining a landscape shaped by glacial depressions and water systems. Along the border between Hubbard Co and Cass Co, a network of county roads like Co HWY-16 and Co HWY-45 connects the rural landscape. This area is characterized by numerous small basins and larger bodies of water, most notably Steamboat Lake in the southeast and Hart Lake to the west. Evidence of local heritage is preserved at sites like Zion Memorial Cem and Green Lea Cem, which sit among the low ridges and wetland fringes. The drainage patterns of Bungashing Cr and Fox Creek further illustrate the intricate hydrology of this region, providing a detailed look at the terrain before modern development intensified in the surrounding counties.
