2022 Map of Waskish NW

About this map

Upper Red Lake dominates the southern half of this landscape in Beltrami County, marking a sharp transition between the vast open water and the low-lying wetland environment to the north. This coastal boundary is traced by several local routes, including Shoreline Dr Ne and Rocky Point Rd Ne, which provide access to the immediate lakeshore. Further inland, the northern terrain is defined by a dense network of marshes and conservation land, navigated primarily by specialized paths like the Consolidated Conservation Trails Trl and Blanchard Trl Ne. This 2022 survey captures the area’s character as a managed wilderness, where the infrastructure is built specifically to negotiate the soft, water-heavy soils of the northern Minnesota peatlands while maintaining access to the prominent inland sea of the Red Lake system.
