2016 Map of Idington

About this map

Idington and its surrounding wetlands occupy this portion of the Iron Range, where the Rice River and Dark River carve through a landscape heavily defined by glacial lakes. This 2016 survey shows the eastern reaches of the Superior National Forest, characterized by an extensive network of forestry spurs and recreation trails, including the Laurentian Snowmobile route. The area remains sparsely settled, with the Idington Cem serving as a primary genealogical landmark near the northern boundary. Numerous water bodies such as Sand Lake, Lake Fourteen, and Moose Lake dominate the terrain, connected by a web of service roads like Graham Road and Osborn Road. The intricate labeling of small creeks like Watercress Cr and Johnson Cr illustrates the complex drainage patterns typical of this northern Minnesota timber and recreation country.
