2016 Map of Britt

About this map

Britt and Forsman anchor this northern Minnesota landscape within the Superior National Forest. The map documents a dense network of forest service spurs and specialized trails, such as Wolf Track and Taconite, reflecting the region’s intersection of timber management and recreation. The hydrology is particularly intricate, featuring a cluster of named water bodies like Wagon Wheel Lake, Little Jammer Lake, and Rat Lake. To the east, the vast Big Rice Lake dominates the terrain, fed by the Rice River. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Britt Bypass and Us 53, which cut through the southern portion of the quadrangle. Local history is anchored by the Sandy Cem located north of Hwy 68, providing a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in this lake-strewn corner of Saint Louis County.
