About this map

The Kettle River winds southward through this part of Carlton County, anchoring a landscape defined by glacial lakes and forest roads. Near the center of the sheet, the Cromwell Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark on the edge of the State Forest Rd network. The small settlement of Corona sits at the eastern edge of the quadrangle, where Peat Plant Rd and TWP 405 intersect, reflecting the area's history of peat harvesting and rural industry.

Water features dominate the terrain, from the large Island Lake with its Island Lake Campgrounds to the cluster of smaller basins including Little Kettle Lake, Black Lake, and Merwin Lake. The presence of Skunk Island within Springer Lake and the naming of local routes like Swede Lake Rd and Dahlman Rd suggest a history of family-led settlement and local recreation that persisted into the early twenty-first century.
