2013 Map of King Lake

About this map

Pequaywan Lookout Tower stands as a prominent sentinel over a landscape defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands in this 2013 survey of the Arrowhead region. The map reveals a high density of water bodies, from the central expanse of King Lake and Grande Lake to the more secluded Kookoosh Lake and Ruth Lake. This area, split by the boundary between St. Louis Co and Lake Co, shows a transition from managed forest roads to more established routes like Pequaywan Lake Rd. The presence of the Drummond Grade and Old Drummond Rd suggests a history tied to the timber industry, while the headwaters of the W Br Knife River and Knife River drain the southern marshes. Small, scattered lakes like Sawmill Lake and Pigeon Lake offer a detailed look at the local topography before it reaches the North Shore highlands.
