About this map

Faunce is the central hub of this remote northern landscape, situated at the intersection of several critical forest corridors. The settlement serves as a navigational anchor within a vast wetland complex that dominates the area, characterized by the dense grid of the Public Land Survey System. The infrastructure of the region is defined by an extensive network of forestry routes, including the prominent north-south Faunce Forest Rd and the diagonally oriented Santa Ana Rd. These roads and trails, such as Stony Corners Trl and Spina Forest Trl, suggest a landscape primarily utilized for timber management and outdoor recreation. The map's topography is notably flat, with subtle elevation changes indicated by five-foot contours, reflecting the transition into the expansive peatlands typical of this part of Minnesota.
