2022 Map of Balsam Lake

USGS Topo · Published 2022

About this map

Chippewa National Forest lands dominate this lake-strewn portion of Itasca County, where a dense network of water bodies defines the social and physical geography. The landscape is characterized by its glacial hydrology, from the West Fork Prairie River in the northeast to significant basins like Long Lake and Buck Lake. Small family burial sites such as the Teigland Family Cem and the larger Balsam Cem provide focal points for genealogical interest, situated among a complex grid of forest roads and trails. Historical transportation routes, including the Scenic Hwy and numerous localized tracks like the B&B Connection Trl and Wilderness Trl, suggest a region managed for both timber and recreation. The sheer concentration of named lakes, such as Whiskey Lake, Sawyer Lake, and White Swan Lake, illustrates the area's importance as a Northwoods destination.
