2019 Map of Buyck

About this map

The Buyck settlement serves as the primary outpost in this corner of Saint Louis County, situated along the northern reaches of the Vermilion River. This 2019 survey illustrates a landscape dominated by the Superior National Forest, where a complex network of logging roads and recreational paths defines the human footprint. Primary transportation corridors like Orr Buyck Rd and Crane Lake Rd provide access to a series of significant glacial lakes, including Kjostad Lake, Elbow Lake, and Section Thirty Lake. The transition from active timber management to recreation is evident in the presence of the Voyageur Snowmobile Trail and the Arrowhead Snowmobile Trail, which traverse the undulating terrain and cross numerous drainages like Eightmile Creek. For the researcher, the map preserves the exact alignment of historical access routes such as Holm Logging Rd and Elbow Lake Forest Rd amidst the vast public lands.
