How to read this map

Its surface lies about 381 m (1,250 ft) above sea level. It drains through the Rum River.

The blue outline marks Mille Lacs Lake as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include St. Cloud, Brainerd and Willmar. Labeled states and countries: Minnesota.

Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders, and fine dashed lines show state or province borders.

The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of Mille Lacs Lake come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where Mille Lacs Lake is, not a surveyed boundary.
