About this map

Anchor Hill rises above a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands in this northern Minnesota landscape. The area is defined by its complex hydrography, featuring significant bodies of water such as Ozawindib Lake, Sugar Bush Lake, and the western edge of Itasca State Park. The map documents a sparsely populated region primarily accessed by forest roads like Anchor Matson Rd and Wilderness Dr.

Waterways like Basswood Creek and Gould Creek connect numerous smaller basins, including the descriptively named Dead Beaver Lake and Twin Island Lake. Near the southwestern corner, the Bad Medicine Lake Rest Area serves as a point of interest for those navigating the routes surrounding Bad Medicine Lake. This survey illustrates the protected and natural character of the terrain, where timber and water resources dictate the movement of roads and the placement of remote clearings.
