2022 Map of Winter Road Lake

About this map

Winter Road Lake sits at the heart of this landscape, a wetland-dense terrain that straddles the boundary between Roseau and Lake of the Woods counties. The area is defined by its low-lying hydrology, where subtle elevation changes are marked by an extensive network of trails and forest roads rather than permanent settlements. This 2022 survey illustrates the modern management of these northern woods, where the Warroad/Roseau Trails Trl and Krull Trl provide the primary means of navigation through the marshy interior. The cartography reveals a transition from the structured forestry access of Cole Forest Rd in the northwest to the more isolated stretches of the southeast near Nelson Trl Sw, reflecting the enduring character of Minnesota's northern peatlands and timber country.
