About this map

Chippewa National Forest dominates this section of Cass County, where a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands characterizes the northern Minnesota landscape. Water is the defining feature, ranging from the large basins of Upper Trelipe Lake and Lower Trelipe Lake to smaller, distinctively shaped bodies like Mitten Lake and Island Lake. The map reveals a land utilized for both conservation and recreation, evidenced by the presence of the Lost Girl Gia Snowmobile Trail and seasonal access roads like Thunder Lake Lodge Dr NE.

Social and historical markers are concentrated near the roads, such as the Salem Lutheran Cem located in the northwest. Local hydrology is intricate, with Trelipe Creek and Daggett Brook connecting various water bodies like Lake Twentysix and Lake George. This survey provides a clear view of how public forest lands are partitioned by township and range lines, including t140n r27w and t141n r26w, while supporting scattered residential and lodge developments along the shorelines.
