About this map

The Saint Louis River snakes through the northern reaches of this landscape, defining the character of the settlements at Gowan and Paupores. This area of northern Minnesota is defined by its extensive wetlands and numerous water bodies, including Kingburg Lake, Headquarters Lake, and Murphy Lake. The convergence of the Ahmik River and the Saint Louis River highlights the historical importance of these waterways for transport and resource management.

South of the river, the terrain is dotted with small lakes such as Heikkila Lake, Thirty-six Lake, and Mud Lake, while the prominent rise of Sugarloaf stands as a local landmark. The road network, featuring routes like Co Rd 839 and Heikkila Rd, reflects the rural development patterns of the region. The boundary line between St. Louis Co and Carlton Co marks the southern portion of the map, where the State Forest Rd provides access to the timbered interior.
