2013 Map of Dunbar Lake

About this map

Chippewa National Forest dominates the landscape of this Northern Minnesota survey, where the winding Popple River and Dunbar River carve through a terrain defined by glacial lakes and wetlands. The settlement of Squaw Lake sits at the southeastern corner of the quadrangle, serving as a local hub with its Po (Post Office) and the nearby N Round Lake Cem. This area, heavily influenced by the logging and forest management of the early 21st century, shows a network of forest roads and county routes like Co HWY 29 and State Hwy 46 that connect the small community of Dunbar to the surrounding wilderness. To the west, Dunbar Lake and its namesake Dunbar Cr provide a focal point for the watershed, while Round Lake and Natures Lake highlight the characteristic aquatic geography of Itasca County.
