2016 Map of Cloquet Lake

About this map

Cloquet Lake and the dense surrounding woodlands of the Superior National Forest define this landscape in the northern reaches of Lake County. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of glacial lakes and watercourses, including Katherine Lake, Ferman Lake, and Drake Lake, which feed into the intricate drainage system of the East Branch Beaver River. Transportation through this timber-rich region is limited to narrow corridors like Hefelfinger Road and Whyte, reflecting the area's primary role as managed forest and wilderness rather than a site of permanent settlement. Small streams such as Hockamin Cr and Big Thirtynine Cr wind through the township lines of T58N and T57N, illustrating the hydrological patterns that have historically shaped land use and conservation efforts in this part of Minnesota.
