2011 Map of Dark Lake

About this map

Dark River meanders south through this Saint Louis County landscape, anchoring a complex system of waterways and timber-access routes. The terrain is defined by its glacial hydrology, featuring a network of interconnected lakes and streams such as Tremblon Lake, Knuckey Lake, and the winding Sturgeon River in the northwest. Several rural thoroughfares like Heino Rd and Graham Rd segment the territory, illustrating the modern management of this forested region by the U.S. Forest Service. Near the southern boundary, Camp Four Lake and Dark Lake sit amidst a concentration of water bodies including Clear Lake. This 2011 survey documents the established road network, from Lonesome Polecat Rd to Lake Leander Rd, providing a clear record of land use and accessibility in the Minnesota Northwoods at the start of the 21st century.
