2016 Map of Astrid Lake

About this map

Superior National Forest dominates this northern Minnesota landscape, where a dense network of glacial lakes and portage-style trails defines the local geography. Large bodies of water like Astrid Lake and Trout Lake are connected by namesake paths such as the Astrid Main Trail and the Norway Trail, reflecting the area's long-standing character as a destination for back-country travel. The southern portion of the sheet is marked by the Little Trout-Sioux River and Oriniack Lake, while numerous smaller basins including Saltpork Lake and Foolsgold Lake are tucked into the undulating terrain. This 2016 survey documents the intricate drainage patterns of the Hilda Creek and Nigh Creek systems, providing a clear record of the protected wilderness before more recent environmental shifts.
