2016 Map of Winter Road Lake SW

About this map

The county line between Beltrami Co and Lake of the Woods Co bisects this remote wetland landscape in Northern Minnesota. The area is characterized by vast stretches of marshy terrain, dotted with isolated water bodies such as Lost Lake and Browns Lake. Settlement is sparse, with infrastructure primarily limited to forest access routes like Faunce Butterfield Forest Rd and Hogsback Obrien Forest Rd, which cut through the timbered bogland. A notable landmark in this wilderness is the Cox-Coyour Memorial Air Field, providing a critical point of access. Near the intersection of these forest roads, the Wildwood Cem stands as a quiet marker of local history. To the southwest, the headwaters area of the Roseau River flows near Mulligan Lake, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of this poorly drained, low-relief region.
