About this map

The Bowstring River and Popple River converge within the northern reaches of the Chippewa National Forest, defining a landscape of interconnected waterways and wetlands in Itasca County. Small settlements like Dora Lake and Oslund sit amidst a complex hydrographic network that includes large bodies of water such as Rice Lake and Sand Lake, as well as the Shogrean Dam Impoundment.

Local history is preserved in sites such as Popple Cem and Pine Grove Cem, providing valuable points of interest for genealogists researching the area's rural families. The map details the local infrastructure from the 2010s, showing the intersection of Co Hwy 29 and Dora Lake Rd, which connect these isolated outposts to the broader region. The proximity of the Big Fork River in the northeast corner further illustrates the importance of river drainage to the region's development and recreation.
