2013 Map of Dewey Lake NW

About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses the entirety of this landscape in St. Louis County, where a complex network of waterways defines the terrain. The Sturgeon River and its tributary, the E Br Sturgeon River, carve paths through the northern woods, joined by smaller streams such as Sand Cr and Murray Cr. This area is characterized by its numerous glacial lakes, including Luna Lake and Perch Lake in the central-west, while Shannon Lake feeds the Shannon River to the south. Forest access is provided by a grid of named routes like Dean Forest Rd and Goodell Rd. The map reveals the deep isolation of these timberlands, showing no permanent settlements but instead a quiet wilderness dominated by hydrography and forest service infrastructure.
