About this map

The glacial waters and dense Swamp of northern Minnesota dominate this landscape along the border of Itasca and St. Louis counties. The map provides a detailed view of the Floodwood Lake basin and the winding path of the Floodwood River as it flows south through Cedar Valley. Significant lake systems including Beauty Lake, Mary Lake, and the island-dotted Island Lake are mapped with precise depth curves provided by the Minnesota Department of Conservation.

Evidence of local industry and transportation is seen in the Gravel Pits and the long Old Railroad Grade cutting through the forest. Small clearings such as the Gospel Ranch Landing Strip and the Maple Grove Cemetery offer points of interest for genealogists and local historians, while the Lookout Tower Radio Tower provides a notable landmark on the higher ground of Toivola and Goodland townships.
