About this map

Hovland anchors the rugged Lake Superior shoreline in this North Shore survey, where the terrestrial landscape meets the expansive waters of the greatest of the Great Lakes. The settlement is centered around Chicago Bay, with local infrastructure including a Po and the Old Settlers Cem north of town, reflecting the long-standing community roots in Cook County. The geography is defined by the sharp transition from the uplands of the Superior National Forest area down to the water, carved by the Flute Reed River, Otis Cr, and Carlson Cr.

Modern recreation and traditional transit converge along the coast, where the Lake Superior Water Trl follows the indentations of Horseshoe Bay and Big Bay. The interior is accessible via a network of local routes like Moose Valley Rd and North Rd, providing a detailed look at the rural land parcels and topographical variations that characterize this remote stretch of Minnesota’s arrowhead region.
