About this map

Chippewa National Forest encompasses this expansive northern Minnesota lake system, where the Mississippi River flows through a complex network of bays and channels. The settlement of Cass Lake sits on the southwestern shore, serving as a gateway to the massive water bodies of Cass Lake and Pike Bay. A remarkable geographic feature is Star Island, which contains its own interior lake, Lake Windigo, creating a unique lake-within-a-lake landscape.

Transport and recreation define the modern era here, with the Soo Line Atv Trl following an old rail corridor and the Migizi Bike Trl skirting the shoreline. Local history is anchored by the Pine Grove Cem near the town center and numerous points of interest along the water, such as Stony Point and Strawberry Point. The map also details the many smaller lakes feeding the system, including Ten Lake, Buck Lake, and Kitchi Lake, illustrating the intricate hydrology of the Beltrami and Cass Co border.
