Land use within the watershed is predominantly agricultural, with some pasture and grasslands found in the central portion and forested areas in the eastern portion. Municipalities located within the SHRW include Beltrami, Climax, Fertile, Fosston, Nielsville, and Winger, which account for two-thirds of the watershed's population.
