2013 Map of Laura Lake

About this map

The Chippewa National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this Minnesota landscape, where a complex network of waterways connects deep glacial lakes. The northern boundary is defined by the expansive Lower Trelipe Lake and Upper Trelipe Lake, while the southern portion features the elongated Washburn Lake and Lake George. The small community of Snowball sits at the junction of Snowball Rd NE and Twp Hwy 43, representing the sparse residential development in this densely wooded region. For local historians and genealogists, the Salem Lutheran Cem near Inguadonna Lake serves as a significant landmark for tracing early settlement. The geography is heavily influenced by the drainage patterns of Trelipe Creek and Daggett Brook, which weave through the numerous smaller basins like Mitten Lake and Lake Twentysix.
