2016 Map of Tenstrike

About this map

The glacial waters of Gull Lake and Blackduck Lake dominate this portion of the lake-rich landscape in north-central Minnesota. The small settlements of Tenstrike and Hines are positioned along the primary transit corridor, serving as local hubs for the surrounding woods and waters. Much of the eastern and southern terrain lies within the Chippewa National Forest, where the landscape is a complex network of wetlands and smaller basins like Erickson Lake and Dutchman Lake. The abundance of water bodies, including Medicine Lake and the smaller School Lake to the south, illustrates the post-glacial topography where local drainage is often defined by short connectors like the Gull River. Residential development is concentrated primarily along the western and northern shores of the larger lakes, as seen in the cluster of local routes near Gull Lake Loop Rd NE.
