2013 Map of Britt

About this map

Britt and Forsman anchor this Saint Louis County landscape, situated within a region characterized by a dense network of lakes and glacial waterways. The northern reaches of Mountain Iron appear along the southern edge, where the Britt Bypass and US Hwy 53 facilitate modern travel through the timberlands. The geography is dominated by water, including the extensive Big Rice Lake and the winding course of the Rice River, which flows through the Superior National Forest. Significant local markers for genealogists and historians include Sandy Cem and several smaller, distinctly named bodies of water such as Wagon Wheel Lake, New Richmond Lake, and Rat Lake. The map reveals a transition from the structured road networks like Timberlane Acres Rd to the more remote wetland corridors of Maki Cr and the Wakenup Narrows.
