2022 Map of Kangas Bay

About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses this stretch of the Arrowhead Region, where complex waterways and dense woodlands meet. The landscape is defined by the transition from White Iron Lake and Bear Island River in the north down toward the expansive Birch Lake Reservoir. A network of forest roads and specific association routes, such as Birch Road Association and Kawishiwi Triangle-Black Spruce, provides access to the interior. The presence of the Ely Municipal Airport and River Point Resort suggests a region oriented toward both local utility and seasonal recreation. For those researching local heritage, the Birch Lake Cem is situated near Pearl Lake, while family-named landmarks like Zupancich James L and Esterberg Road ground the map in the local community of St. Louis County.
