2016 Map of Babbitt NE

About this map

The Superior National Forest dominates this northeastern Minnesota landscape, where the waters of Birch Lake transition into a complex network of wetlands and river systems. The northern reaches of the map are defined by the intricate shoreline of Bob Bay and Birch Point, while the interior is crisscrossed by specialized access routes such as Stony Spur Trail and Dunka Mine Road. These paths signify the area's dual identity as both a protected wilderness and a site of industrial resource extraction.
