2010 Map of Waskish

About this map

Upper Red Lake dominates the western half of this landscape, its expansive shoreline meeting the small community of Waskish along the eastern bank. This area of northern Minnesota is defined by the transition from open water to the dense timber of the Red Lake State Frst. The settlement pattern is concentrated along the lakefront, where the Waskish Post Office and Waskish Municipal Airport serve as central infrastructure for the residents and visitors of the region. A network of township and county roads, including N Shore Dr and Beach Rd, connects the lakeside properties and Hillman's RV Park to the surrounding wilderness and small interior water bodies like Larson Lake. The map illustrates the specialized economy of a remote lakeshore village, balancing conservation land with local aviation and recreational facilities.
