2022 Map of Isabella

About this map

Isabella serves as a central hub in this corner of the Superior National Forest, where the landscape is defined by its complex network of glacial lakes and rivers. The settlement's history is anchored by the Isabella Memorial Cem and proximity to the Little Isabella River. To the south, Murphy City and Manitou Junction highlight the area's legacy of timber and rail transport, connected by historic paths like the General Grade. The map detail reveals how waterways such as the Manitou River and the W Br Baptism River dictate the local geography, winding through dense forest land that has long supported both industry and recreation. From Dumbbell Lake in the northeast to Soap Lake in the southwest, the terrain is a maze of freshwater basins and drainage creeks that represent the classic Northwoods environment of Lake County.
