About this map

Floodwood Lake and the meandering Floodwood River dominate this pocket of St. Louis County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and the expansive Toivola Swamp. This 2022 survey captures the transition between Itasca and St. Louis counties, marked by the St Louis-Itasca Judicial Hwy. The area is sparsely settled, with the Gospel Ranch Airport and the Maple Grove Cem serving as primary landmarks for local history and genealogy.

A dense web of rural routes like Cropless Lake Rd, Niemi-Park Rd, and Boy Scout Dr provides access to numerous water bodies, including Beauty Lake, Mary Lake, and Island Lake. The map reveals a high concentration of seasonal and residential properties along the shorelines, particularly near Merrill Lake and Round Lake, illustrating the region's long-standing character as a destination for outdoor recreation and remote living within the Northwoods.
