2013 Map of Comstock Lake

About this map

Comstock Lake and its neighboring basins define this northern Minnesota landscape in the early 21st century. The map reveals an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands, including Lower Comstock Lake, Hart Lake, and Rush Lake, which feed a series of winding watercourses. Significant drainage includes the Whiteface River in the northwest and the Us-Kab-Wan-Ka River flowing through the southern portion of the quadrangle. Human activity is primarily limited to forest access corridors like Comstock Lake Rd and Jim Readdy Forest Rd, which navigate the terrain between numerous creeks such as Tower Cr, Coolidge Cr, and Bug Creek. This survey captures the region as a dedicated wilderness and timber resource area, where the names of small lakes like Berle Lake and Hendrickson Lake identify specific points in a largely undeveloped stretch of St. Louis County.
