About this map

The northern wilderness of Superior National Forest dominates this landscape in Saint Louis County, where a dense network of waterways defines the remote geography. The Ash River flows through the northern reaches, joined by smaller tributaries such as Camp Ninety Cr and Ganton Cr. These streams navigate a complex terrain of wetlands and dense forest cover, typical of the Minnesota arrowhead region.

Evidence of recreational and forestry access is found in the various timber roads and the Arrowhead Snowmobile Trail cutting through the southwestern sections. In the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, Corner Lake and Chub Lake provide significant landmarks amidst the wooded interior. The drainage of Ninemile Cr and the Black Duck River further illustrates the hydrological complexity of this protected timberland, as it appeared during the 2017–2018 survey period.
