2022 Map of Upper Rice Lake

About this map

Upper Rice Lake and its surrounding wetlands form the center of this Clearwater County landscape, which transitions between large open waters and dense marshlands. The Wild Rice River meanders through the western and southern sections of the terrain, joined by smaller tributaries like Mosquito Cr. This region maintains a traditional rural character, with scattered family sites and early burial grounds such as Nora Cem and Lundin Cem preserved among the farms and woods. The network of local routes, including Co Hwy 13 and 320th St, navigates around the numerous water bodies like Daniel Lake and Minerva Lake, reflecting a long-standing balance between human transit and the natural drainage of the Minnesota lake country.
