2011 Map of Ash Lake

About this map

Ash Lake and its surrounding wetlands form the center of this northern Minnesota landscape, where the Ash River and Lost River wind through the North Woods. The settlement of Ash Lake sits along the eastern shore, positioned near a network of local forest routes and management paths. The road layout reveals a history of land use and navigation in Saint Louis County, specifically where Ash Lake Rd and Old Ash Lake Rd meet near the water's edge. Further south, the Lost River Management Rd and Town Line Rd indicate the administrative and practical divisions of this remote timber and recreational area. The topography is defined by complex water systems, with numerous unnamed ponds and drainage streams feeding into the primary river corridors.
