About this map

Floodwood Lake and the Floodwood River anchor this landscape in Saint Louis County, where water dominates the topography. The area is defined by a dense cluster of glacial lakes, including the central Round Lake, the elongated Long Lake, and the eastern Island Lake. The Floodwood Lake Dam regulates the water levels near the intersection of several local routes, while the Gospel Ranch Airport provides a remote point of access north of Beauty Lake.

A network of local roads, many bearing family or descriptive names such as Carlson Rd, Hakola Rd, and Beauty Mountain Rd, connects scattered residences and timber tracts. The presence of these named thoroughfares alongside smaller bodies of water like Thunderbird Lake and Mary Lake suggests a community shaped by its proximity to the Iron Range and the recreation-heavy character of northern Minnesota's lake country.
