About this map

The Britt Post Office serves as a central landmark in this 2011 survey of the Mesabi Range area, anchoring the settlement of Britt. The landscape is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and slow-moving waterways, including Big Rice Lake to the east and a cluster of smaller bodies to the southwest such as Rat Lake, Wagon Wheel Lake, and New Richmond Lake. The hydrography of the region is complex, with the Rice River and Sand River winding through the terrain, fed by various tributaries like Maki Creek and Walberg Creek.

North of the main settlement, the locality of Forsman is situated near the confluence of Forsman Creek and the Rice River. The road network, including Hulm Rd and Pelton Rd, reflects a pattern of rural development that navigates around the numerous marshes and lakes common to this part of Saint Louis County. This map provides a detailed look at the interface between residential pockets and the persistent wetlands of northern Minnesota.
