2016 Map of Sucker Creek

About this map

Upper Red Lake and Lower Red Lake dominate this northern Minnesota landscape, separated by a narrow strip of land where the settlement of Ponemah is established. This 2016 survey highlights the intricate relationship between the tribal community and the surrounding water and wetlands. The transportation network is specifically oriented toward reservation life, with a grid of local routes including Resvn Hwy 25, Resvn Hwy 58, and Resvn Hwy 18 connecting the lakeshore to the interior. The winding path of Sucker Creek cuts through the southern reaches, draining into the lower lake amidst a complex system of marshes. Historically significant routes like Old Camp Rd and Old Rd suggest older patterns of movement across the peninsula, providing researchers with a look at how access to these remote shorelines has evolved over time.
