About this map

Bear Head Lake State Park anchors this portion of Saint Louis County, where a complex network of glacial lakes and islands defines the northern Minnesota landscape. Small settlements like Robinson and McComber are situated along the northern corridor, connected by roads such as Mud Creek Rd and Victoria St. The geography is dominated by the multi-lobed Eagles Nest Lake Number 2, Eagles Nest Lake Number Three, and Eagles Nest Lake Number Four, which create a labyrinth of peninsulas including Stocking Point and Howes Point.

Deep within the Superior National Forest, the map reveals intricate water systems like the Armstrong River and numerous smaller bodies such as Blueberry Lake, Square Lake, and Bolter Lake. The density of named points and islands, such as Ruths Island and Big Island, suggests a region long utilized for seasonal recreation and timber. Traces of local history are found along the winding Fishing Lakes Trl and Pulkinen Rd, which provide access to the remote interior sections of the township.
