About this map

Ash Lake dominates the upper-central portion of this map, serving as a focal point for a landscape defined by timber management and water drainage. Set within the bounds of the Superior National Forest, the region is marked by a network of specialized access routes like the Lost River Management Rd and Old Ash Lake Rd. These roads suggest a continued reliance on forest maintenance and resource management in Saint Louis County.

The hydrography of the area is further defined by the Ash River flowing to the north and the winding course of the Lost River to the south. The presence of Town Line Rd and various township boundaries, such as t66n r20w, illustrates the systematic grid of the Public Land Survey System as it overlays the irregular natural terrain of the Northwoods. This 2016 survey reflects a sparsely populated area where the infrastructure is primarily dedicated to forestry and recreational access to the local waterways.
