2019 Map of Finland

About this map

Finland stands as the primary settlement in this corner of Lake County, situated where the East Branch Baptism River meets the larger drainage system flowing toward the North Shore. The landscape is defined by the sharp rise of the Sawtooth Mountains, which create a dramatic backdrop just inland from the cold waters of Lake Superior. This survey documents a wilderness increasingly accessed by a network of forest roads and trails, including Cramer Rd and the N Shore State Trail, which cut through dense topography marked by high-elevation lakes like Sonju Lake and Egge Lake. For those researching local roots, the Finland Crystal Bay Cem remains a significant landmark near the junction of Co Rd 6 and Leskinen Rd. The area's geography is further characterized by numerous named tributaries, such as Schoolhouse Cr and Leskinen Cr, which feed the river systems carved into the ancient rock of the Arrowhead region.
