About this map

Holyoke and Nickerson anchor this corner of the Minnesota northwoods, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and small glacial lakes. The Nemadji River and its S Fork Nemadji River wind through the northern terrain, joined by numerous tributaries including Stony Brook, Silver Cr, and Anderson Cr. The survey illustrates the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, with local routes like Co Hwy 8 and Center Rd connecting scattered homesteads and recreational lands.

Water dominates the southern half of the quadrangle, which features a cluster of named bodies including Net Lake, Cranberry Lake, and Pickerel Lake. The transition between Carlton Co and Pine Co is clearly marked, as is the Big Tooth Ridge Trl, suggesting a landscape utilized for both timber management and outdoor navigation. This detailed topography serves as an essential guide for understanding the drainage patterns and land-use history of this border region.
