2011 Map of Babbitt SW

About this map

Partridge River and its tributary, the South Branch Partridge River, define the hydrology of this northern Minnesota landscape near Babbitt. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a region dominated by water and forest management infrastructure, where secondary waterways like Stubble Creek and Yelp Creek feed into the larger river system. The presence of Forest Rte 113 and Co Rd 680 indicates the area's ongoing importance for timber access and rural connectivity. To the southeast, Stone Lake provides a clear landmark in a terrain otherwise characterized by the winding paths of Colvin Creek and various unnamed forest service routes. This map provides researchers with a precise record of early 21st-century drainage patterns and the established road network in Saint Louis County.
