2016 Map of Dewey Lake NW

About this map

The Superior National Forest dominates this northern Minnesota landscape, revealing a complex network of waterways and forest management roads as they appeared in 2016. The Sturgeon River winds through the central and eastern portions of the quadrangle, subdivided into administrative segments such as Sturgeon River Section G and Sturgeon River Section C. These labels, along with the Taconite road and various spurs like Osborn Spur D, reflect the area's legacy of resource extraction and timber access. Water is a defining characteristic of the terrain, from the sprawling Perch Lake and smaller Luna Lake to the course of the Shannon River in the south. Named local corridors like Dean Forest Road and Prusak Road provide the primary access points into this dense, lacustrine environment near the border of t60n r20w.
