2010 Map of Brookston NW

About this map

The Saint Louis River snakes along the southern edge of this landscape, anchoring a network of wetlands and small glacial lakes in Saint Louis County. In the early 21st century, this region remained a low-density rural expanse defined by its hydrology, with Spider Creek cutting a long path from the northwest toward the center. The map reveals a pattern of section-line roads and named local routes such as Richardson Rd and Stenstrom Rd, which provide access to clusters of small water bodies like Spider Lake, Muskrat Lake, and Round Lake. The presence of Aerie Lake and Crooked Lake in the northeast corner further illustrates the water-rich nature of the North Woods, where the Little Whiteface River also makes a brief appearance on the western margin.
