About this map

Kabetogama State Forest and the Superior National Forest dominate this landscape in St. Louis County, where the Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Commission collaborated with federal surveyors. The Duluth Winnipeg and Pacific railroad bisects the terrain, connecting small settlements like Britt and Forsman. Water defines the region's character, from the sprawling Big Rice Lake to smaller, distinct basins such as Jammer Lake, Wagon Wheel Lake, and Rat Lake. Local infrastructure of the early 1950s is evidenced by the Britt Post Office, a Town Hall, and Ranger Headquarters. The presence of the Arrowhead Lake State Game Refuge indicates the area's significance for wildlife management during this era. Genealogists can find the Sandy Cemetery near the eastern boundary, while surveyors noted several gravel pits and the winding course of the Rice River.
