About this map

Superior National Forest defines the landscape of this northern St. Louis County quadrangle, where a dense network of forest roads and motorized trails intersects with the headwaters of several regional waterways. The drainage pattern is dominated by the Sturgeon River and its various tributaries, including the S Br Sturgeon River and Murray Cr. This area serves as a significant recreational corridor, evidenced by the presence of the Taconite State Trl and the Taconite Ohv Trl. The map illustrates the 21st-century management of these timberlands through numerous spur trails such as Godell Spur J Trl and Sturgeon River Spur C Trl. Large bodies of water like Perch Lake and Shannon Lake provide anchor points for local geography, while smaller features like Luna Lake and Jean Lake are accessible via routes like Luna Lake Rd and Forest Rte 279.
