About this map

Lake of the Woods County is the primary focus of this modern geographic survey, which covers a remote section of Northern Minnesota during the mid-2010s. The landscape is defined by the Public Land Survey System coordinates T162n R33w, reflecting the foundational legal grid used to organize the territory. This particular map is uniquely sparse, focusing on a vast expanse of wetland or water without the presence of named settlements, roads, or man-made landmarks. It represents a specific type of environmental data collection where hydrography and wetland inventory dominate the record, documenting the pristine state of the northern borderlands as they were monitored by federal agencies like the U.S. Geological Survey.
