About this map

Chippewa National Forest land dominates this section of Itasca County, defined by a complex network of glacial lakes and managed waterways. The landscape features significant water control structures like the Little Wolf Impoundment and the Hanson Lake Impoundment, which reflect modern forest and wildlife management practices within the national forest boundaries.

Lakes of varying sizes, including Lawrence Lake, Wabana Lake, and the curiously named Tadpole Lake, are connected by primitive forest roads and secondary routes such as the Scenic Hwy and Co Hwy-59. The drainage patterns are clearly visible through features like Hanson Cr and Wabana Cr, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the North Woods during the early 21st century. This area remains largely undeveloped, preserved for conservation and recreation with few named settlements but many named natural landmarks like Inky Lake and Hendrichs Lake.
