About this map

The Chippewa National Forest and George Washington State Forest meet in this dense lakeland within Itasca County, defined by a complex network of glacial water bodies and forest management boundaries. This 1996 update, based on topography from 1969 and imagery from 1991, captures a landscape dominated by timber and recreation, centered on the eponymous Clubhouse Lake. The map details various forest service designations and access points, including a notable Organization Camp situated near the water's edge.

The distribution of lakes like Gunn Lake, Big Dick Lake, and Three Island Lake reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the Minnesota north woods. State and National Forest boundaries weave between the shorelines of Lake Elizabeth and Copenhagen Lake, reflecting the region's long history of public land conservation and resource management. For the researcher, the map provides precise locations for boat access points and secondary forest roads that serve as the primary infrastructure for this water-rich interior.
