About this map

The Kabetogama State Forest dominates this northern Minnesota landscape, characterized by a complex network of glacial lakes and waterways. The western shores of Vermilion Lake reach into the eastern half of the quadrangle, notably at Wakemup Bay and Head of the Lakes Bay. Family-named points and islands, such as Jacobsons Point, Schmidts Island, and Piccard Island, suggest a well-established lakeside culture by the mid-1960s.

Logistics and transport are anchored by the Duluth Winnipeg and Pacific railroad, which runs south toward the small settlement of Haley. Historical sites of interest include the Indian Cem near the shoreline and a Bible Camp on the peninsula near Wakemup. The interior is dotted with smaller bodies of water like Hoodoo Lake, Sunset Lake, and Black Lake, connected by winding waterways such as Hoodoo Creek and Black Creek.
