About this map

Lawrence Lake and its neighboring waters define the northern Minnesota landscape in this modern U.S. Geological Survey study of Itasca County. The map reveals a complex aquatic network managed through infrastructure like the Wabana Lake Dam and the Little Wolf Lake Wildlife Impoundment Dam. A notable point of human activity is the Shaughnessy Seaplane Base, positioned on the western shore of Lower Lawrence Lake, highlighting the importance of aerial access in this lake-rich region.

The terrain is crisscrossed by a mix of forest routes and local roads, such as N Wabana Forest Rd and Scenic Dr, which connect various remote water bodies. Named features such as Rain Barrel Lake, Tadpole Lake, and McAlpine Lake suggest a localized geography shaped by individual landowners or descriptive naming conventions. This record illustrates the modern balance of wildlife management areas and residential or recreational lakeside access as it existed in the early 21st century.
