About this map

Lake Bemidji and the surrounding north-woods shoreline anchor this detailed 2013 survey of the northern reaches of the Bemidji area. Small residential and recreation-focused settlements like Birchmont, Woodland Park, and Lavinia dot the lakefronts, reflecting the region's development as a seasonal and suburban destination. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of interconnected waterways, including the winding Turtle River, Beltrami Lake, and Fox Lake.

Inland, the map reveals local recreational landmarks such as the Bemidji Speedway and Castle Highlands Golf Course, while the Pine Ridge Cem provides a point of interest for genealogists and local historians. Transportation is dominated by Us-71, which cuts diagonally across the terrain, linking the lakeside communities to the larger region. The transition from established neighborhoods near the lakes to more sparsely settled areas like Turtle River and Hamilton's Fox Lake Campground illustrates the modern balance of residence and wilderness in Beltrami County.
