About this map

Eagles Nest and the surrounding lake country of Saint Louis County define this northern landscape, where water and islands outnumber dry ground. The township is dominated by a complex network of glacial basins, including the distinctively numbered Eagles Nest Lake Number 2, Eagles-Nest-Lake-Number Three, and Eagles Nest Lake Number Four. The presence of Robinson and McComber suggests small residential clusters and seasonal activity along the Armstrong River, while the southern reaches fall within the protected bounds of the Superior National Forest.

Navigation through this water-logged terrain relies on local routes like Bear Head State Park Rd and Purvis Forest Rd. Local history is preserved in the naming of numerous landforms such as Ruths Island, Howes Point, and Big Toe Island, which provide specific reference points for property researchers and boaters. Large bodies of water like Bear Head Lake and Armstrong Lake are central features, surrounded by dense wetlands and smaller ponds like Deadman Lake and Toikka Lake.
