2019 Map of Isaac Lake

About this map

The Embarrass River and Birch River carve through this Iron Range landscape, which transitions from the edges of Babbitt and Hoyt Lakes into the dense woodlands of the Superior National Forest. This 2019 survey documents a region defined by its glacial hydrology, where numerous water bodies like Isaac Lake, Kaunonen Lake, and Island Lake are connected by a network of drainage creeks including Spring Mine Cr and Ridge Cre. For those researching local history or genealogy, the map identifies specific burial sites such as Argo Cem and Armanda Cem. The rural road network, featuring names like Kaunonen Lake Rd and S Bearhead Forest Rd, suggests a pattern of land use that balances industrial outskirts with remote forest access and recreational waterways.
