About this map

The settlement of Embarrass serves as the focal point for this 2010 U.S. Geological Survey study, situated at the confluence of local transit and river geography. The Embarrass River meanders across the southern landscape, supported by a network of tributaries including Trimble Creek and Bear Creek. This area of Saint Louis County is defined by its dense collection of small glacial water bodies, with Heikkila Lake, Lempia Lakes, and the Falls Lakes providing significant landmarks.

A network of local roads carries family and regional names, such as Wahlsten Rd, Pylka Rd, and Saranpaa Rd, reflecting the heritage of this rural community. The Embarrass Post Office stands as a primary civic landmark near the junction of Hwy-21. The map captures the balance between settled homesteads and the numerous lakes, like Moose Lake and Little Birch Lake, that characterize the northern Minnesota woods.
