1996 Map of Laura Lake

About this map

Glacial lakes and thick timber dominate this portion of Cass County, where the Chippewa National Forest and Land O' Lakes State Forest converge. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the large expanse of Laura Lake near the township of Remer. The hydrography, compiled by the Minnesota Department of Conservation, reveals the complex drainage patterns of the region, from the connected Upper Trelipe Lake and Lower Trelipe Lake to the scattered smaller basins like Mitten Lake and Lake Twenty-six. This survey reflects the mid-1990s character of the Northwoods, showing a region managed for conservation and recreation. Notable landmarks for local history include several Gravel Pits and the Thunder Lake State Forest Boundary, marking the transition between different state and federal land management areas during this era.
