2013 Map of Bird Lake

About this map

The Saint Louis River snakes through this portion of the Superior National Forest, defining a landscape dominated by wetlands and glacial water bodies. This 2013 survey documents a predominantly undeveloped wilderness area where hydrology dictates the movement of people and wildlife. To the east, the Skibo Lookout Tower stands as a significant landmark for forest management and fire observation, overlooking a network of named drainages including Shiver Cr and Little Shiver Cr. Small, isolated lakes like Bird Lake, Little Lillian Lake, and Hush Lake are accessible only by forest roads such as Co HWY 110 and Forest Rte 190, which cut through the dense timber of Saint Louis County.
