About this map

Fairbanks is situated at the intersection of Co HWY 16 and Town Line Rd in this northern Minnesota survey, anchoring a landscape dominated by the protected timberlands of the Superior National Forest. The geography is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the winding Cloquet River and its various branches, alongside numerous bodies of water such as Cadotte Lake and Bassett Lake. Smaller settlements like Hornby and Breda are positioned along the county roads and forest routes that provide access to this isolated interior.

The map reveals a transition between concentrated water features in the north and the extensive wetlands surrounding Wolf Lake and Lanta Lake further south. For those interested in the rural infrastructure of Saint Louis County, the survey details specifically named routes such as Lalonde Beach Rd and Ahola Rd, which suggest localized development amidst the vast forest canopy and glacially-carved topography of the region.
