2013 Map of Babbitt NE

About this map

Superior National Forest dominates this northern Minnesota landscape, where the heavy woods are broken by an intricate network of waterways and forest service roads. The northern reach is defined by the expanse of Birch Lake and the prominent Birch Point, while the interior is drained by the Stony River, Dunka River, and the curiously named Twenty Proof Cr. Human presence is largely tied to timber and transit, evidenced by the Tomahawk Camp and a system of specialized routes including the Mining Rd and New Tomahawk Rd. The map also captures the administrative divide as the boundary between St. Louis Co and Lake Co cuts through the dense forest, providing a clear record of the area's infrastructure before subsequent wilderness management changes.
