2011 Map of Bird Lake

About this map

The Saint Louis River winds through this northern landscape, forming a central hydrologic corridor that defines the drainage patterns of Saint Louis County. This 2011 survey reveals a territory dominated by water and forest management, where the Skibo Lookout Tower stands as a primary landmark for regional observation. Reached by Skibo Lookout Rd, this site overlooks a network of smaller water bodies such as Bird Lake, Little Lillian Lake, and Hush Lake. The terrain is deeply etched by numerous tributaries, including Shiver Creek and its companion Little Shiver Creek, as well as the uniquely named Bum Creek and South Branch Water Hen Creek. These waterways and the presence of Co Hwy 110 illustrate the typical intersection of industrial forestry access and the natural hydrology of the Arrowhead Region.
