About this map

Hoyt Lakes and the surrounding wilderness of the Superior National Forest define this landscape in northeastern Minnesota. The area is heavily marked by a complex network of forest service and logging roads, including the St. Louis River Hw Section A and numerous spurs such as Bird Lake Spur A, which penetrate the dense terrain to reach isolated water bodies.

Hydrology is the dominant feature here, with the Saint Louis River winding through the center of the quadrangle. Smaller drainages like Big Water Hen Cr and Shiver Cr feed into the larger system, while secluded lakes like Bird Lake, Hush Lake, and Little Lillian Lake are scattered across the timbered sections. The mapping detail highlights the transition between managed forest lands and the riparian corridors of Township 58 North, Range 14 West, illustrating the modern state of this recreation and resource-rich region.
