About this map

The Saint Louis River sweeps through the southern boundary of this northern Minnesota landscape, where the wetland topography of Saint Louis County is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and small tributaries. Waterways like the Little Whiteface River and Spider Cr drain the central lowlands, connecting a series of named water bodies including Spider Lake, Aerie Lake, and Muskrat Lake. The region's rural character is reflected in the layout of local corridors such as Richardson Rd and Swan Lake Rd. While largely dominated by its hydrography, the survey details the specific placement of isolated homesteads and family-named routes like Maki Rd and Mack Rd, providing researchers with a clear record of 21st-century rural land use and residential distribution in the Arrowhead Region.
