2013 Map of Babbitt

About this map

Babbitt sits at the heart of this Iron Range landscape, characterized by a dense network of water bodies and the extensive reaches of the Superior National Forest. The town's grid, featuring streets like Cypress Blvd and Elm Blvd, serves as a hub for the surrounding wilderness and recreational areas. To the north, the sprawling Birch Lake is punctuated by numerous points and islands, including Eagle Nest Point and Deer Island, while smaller, more secluded waters like Argo Lake and Iron Lake lie to the south. The presence of Camp Rivard and the Birch Lake and Campgrounds indicates a long-standing tradition of forest management and seasonal residency. Significant waterways such as the Partridge River and Birch River Narrows wind through the terrain, illustrating the complex hydrography that has shaped the region's development and use.
