2016 Map of Fairbanks

About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses much of this Saint Louis County landscape, where the headwaters of the Cloquet River and the S Br Whiteface River begin their drainage through a complex of glacial lakes and wetlands. Small settlements like Fairbanks and Hornby appear along established routes such as Townline Road and Fairbanks Road, while industrial activity is noted at the Fairbanks Gravel Pit. The map captures a transition between low-lying riparian areas near Wolf Lake and the higher ground marked by the Ahola Road corridor. Remote access is defined by specialized trails and spurs, including Hagstrom Trl and Breda Spur H, which suggest the area's continued reliance on forestry and natural resource management. Water bodies like Bassett Lake and Otto Lake dominate the northern terrain, feeding a network of creeks including Petrell Creek and Jenkins Cr.
