Lower Winnipeg River Basin Discussion Sheet Series Sheet #11 | Maps

This fact sheet provides a series of maps characterizing the lower Winnipeg River basin (LWRB) and the Manitoba portion of the broader Winnipeg River basin (WRB). It details the basin's geography—with the WRB covering 136,840 km2 and the LWRB covering 4,650 km2—and includes spatial data on surficial geology, land cover, forest cover, zoning, Indigenous presence, 2016 population density, and drinking water advisories.

• The Winnipeg River basin (WRB) covers an area of 136,840 km2 and spans parts of western Ontario, northern Minnesota in the United States, and small parts of Manitoba. The lower Winnipeg River basin (LWRB) is located in the northwest section of the WRB and covers 4,650 km2.
• The document provides mapping for the LWRB and the Manitoba portion of the WRB across several categories, including surficial geology, mine sites, land cover (2017), forest cover (2000), land management, zoning policy, and Indigenous presence.
• The document includes data on human demographics and infrastructure within the basin, specifically mapping 2016 Census subdivisions, population density, and dwellings scaled to the watershed boundary for the Manitoba portion of the WRB.
• Drinking water advisories for the Manitoba portion of the Winnipeg River basin are mapped as of November 2018 and May 8, 2020. These advisories include boil water, do not consume, and do not use advisories affecting various systems such as municipal and community water systems, small private water systems, and semi-public facilities like hospitals and schools.
