About this map

Chippewa National Forest encompasses much of this landscape in northern Itasca County, where water defines the terrain through a network of creeks and lakes. The settlement of Alvwood sits at the intersection of State Hwy 46 and Co Hwy-13, serving as a focal point for the surrounding timberlands and lakes. Further south, the community of Rosy is situated near the shores of Rosy Lake and Upper Twin Lakes, with the local Rosy Cemetery marking the long-standing presence of families in this forest region.

The map reveals a landscape managed for both preservation and utility, evidenced by the Dixon Lake Lookout Tower and the proximity of the Moose Park Township Cemetery along the northern road corridors. Numerous watercourses, including the Popple River, Moose Creek, and Third River, carve through the glacial terrain, connecting larger bodies like Shallow Pond Lake and Little Dixon Lake. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the secondary road network, such as Kupcho Rd and Skimmerhorn Rd, which provide access to these remote northern Minnesota woods.
