1968 Map of Ash River SE

About this map

Kabetogama State Forest dominates this northern Minnesota landscape, characterized by a complex network of waterways and seasonal access routes. The Ash River winds through the northern sections, joined by tributaries such as Camp 90 Creek and Gannon Creek. To the south, the Black Duck River and Ninemile Creek drain through marshy lowlands, punctuated by isolated bodies of water like Corner Lake and Chub Lake. The prevalence of Winter Roads and several Winter Trails underscores the seasonal nature of transit and resource extraction in this environment, where frozen ground historically provided the necessary stability for moving heavy equipment or timber. A solitary Gravel Pit near Long Lake suggests localized industrial activity amidst the dense forest and wetland cover of St. Louis County.
