About this map

The town of Hackensack serves as the focal point for this region of Cass County, where the sprawling waters of Tenmile Lake and Birch Lake dominate the landscape. This area, largely contained within the Chippewa National Forest, is defined by its complex glacial hydrology, featuring dozens of named water bodies from the small Scoffner Lake to the significant Boy River drainage. The map reveals a transition between dense forest cover and established lakeside communities, with landmarks like Angel Island and the Woodtick Number One Impoundment illustrating human management of the regional watershed.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented through the presence of established burial grounds, including Finnelly Cem and Hillcrest Cem. The intricate network of forest roads, such as Co Hwy 6 and Hiram Loop Rd NW, connects isolated lakes like Jackpine Lake and Variety Lake to the primary settlements. This document captures the character of northern Minnesota lake country, emphasizing its dual identity as a recreational wilderness and a permanent residential hub.
