2019 Map of Fairbanks

About this map

Fairbanks serves as a focal point within the Superior National Forest in this 2019 survey of eastern Saint Louis County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, where the W Br Cloquet River and Cloquet River move through timbered wetlands. Small settlements like Hornby and Breda are connected by forest roads and trails, such as Hagstrom Trl and Breda Spur H. The prevalence of named water bodies, including Cadotte Lake and the elongated Wolf Lake, illustrates the post-glacial hydrology of the Arrowhead Region. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible at the Fairbanks Gravel Pit, while the numerous "Spur" roads and the Northeastern corridor suggest a history of resource extraction and seasonal access in this deeply wooded Minnesota terrain.
