2016 Map of Kane Lake

About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses this section of Lake County, where a dense network of waterways and timberlands defines the landscape. Small rail-associated points like McNair, Norshor Junction, and Darby Junction sit in the northern and central portions of the map, connected by routes like Langley and Csah 2. The terrain is characterized by a significant concentration of lakes and rivers, including the winding Cloquet River and the Langley River. Local history is reflected in the naming of several smaller water bodies, such as Kane Lake, Amberger Lake, and Christianson Lake, as well as an Abandoned Hwy that suggests shifting transportation patterns within the forest. Survey lines for various townships, including t56n r10w, provide the underlying grid for this wooded region of northeastern Minnesota.
