About this map

Glacial lakes and dense hydrography define this pocket of northeastern Minnesota, where the border between St Louis Co and Lake County bisects a landscape of water and forest. The area is anchored by King Lake and Little Stone Lake, connected by a network of local routes such as Drummond Rd and Hopper Rd. The terrain is characterized by numerous small basins like Kookoosh Lake and Grande Lake, which feed into larger systems like the W Br Knife River.

Resource extraction and backcountry access are evident in the historical timber routes, most notably the Drummond Grade and the Pequaywan Truck Trl. These corridors, alongside Co Hwy 44, provide the primary framework for movement through the wetlands and upland rises. This map offers a clear look at the contemporary land divisions and preserved waterways of the Northwoods before they reach the more developed shorelines of the Great Lakes.
