2019 Map of Coon Lake

About this map

Chippewa National Forest dominates this northern landscape, where an intricate network of glacial lakes and waterways defines the movement through the woods. The water-rich terrain includes significant bodies like Coon Lake, Sandwick Lake, and Pine Lake, connected by minor drainage systems such as Gale Brook and the Rice River. Settlement patterns are minimal, with the area primarily utilized for recreation and resource management. The 2019 survey shows modern infrastructure tailored for outdoor access, notably the Cameron Lake Snowmobile Trail and seasonal access routes like Marie Lake Rd and Bakke Rd. The presence of the Scenic Hwy cutting through the forest indicates the primary transit corridor for this remote section of Itasca County, providing access to the numerous named lakes like Isaac Lake and Lake of Isles that dot the interior.
