About this map

The Superior National Forest dominates this section of St. Louis County, where a dense network of timber and recreation trails winds through the lake-dotted landscape. The map highlights the intersection of industrial transport and wilderness, anchored by the community of Britt and the northern edge of Mountain Iron. Movement through this northern woods environment is defined by the Taconite Trl and various forestry routes like Big Aspen Spur G Trl and Wolf Track Trl.

Water plays a central role in the geography, from the expansive Big Rice Lake on the eastern boundary to smaller basins like Wagon Wheel Lake and Minnow Lake. This 2022 survey captures the modern alignment of Us 53, which serves as a primary corridor through the region. Local history is marked by features such as Sandy Cem near the Rice River and the settlement at Forsman, providing specific points of interest for genealogists and researchers tracking the development of these Iron Range communities.
