2016 Map of Harris Lake

About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses this section of northern Minnesota, where the drainage of the Whiteface River system defines the landscape. The North Branch Whiteface River and South Branch Whiteface River wind through a dense network of wetlands and small lakes, including Pequaywan Lake and Linwood Lake. A significant portion of the Whiteface Reservoir is visible in the west, while the eastern portion of the map is dominated by Harris Lake and Otto Harris Lake. The topography is anchored by Pietila Mountain, a notable elevation point in an area otherwise characterized by water bodies and forest access roads. Local infrastructure is sparse, represented by routes such as NE Grade Rd and Hagstrom Rd, reflecting a region largely dedicated to timber management and outdoor recreation within the national forest boundaries.
