About this map

Chippewa National Forest dominates this landscape of the upper Mississippi drainage, where the massive waters of Cass Lake meet a complex network of smaller basins and channels. The town of Cass Lake sits at the southwestern edge of the water, serves as a focal point for local transportation along US Hwy 2. The map reveals a high concentration of recreational and natural landmarks, most notably Star Island, which contains its own internal body of water, Lake Windigo, and the Lake Windigo Portage.

Cultural features are concentrated near the lakeshore and the town site, including the Pine Grove Cem and Sandtrap Golf Course. The shoreline is heavily marked with legacy recreational sites such as the Stony Point Campgrounds and Norway Beach Campground. The boundary between Beltrami Co and Cass Co cuts directly across the open water and the northern reach of Star Island, illustrating how political lines bisect this interconnected aquatic environment.
