About this map

Chippewa National Forest encompasses much of this glacial landscape in Itasca County, defined by a dense network of lakes and waterways. The central corridor is dominated by the connected basin of Hanson Lake and Upper Hanson Lake, while the western boundary is marked by the expansive Wabana Lake. The terrain is characterized by numerous smaller named bodies of water with evocative local names such as Big Rain Barrel Lake, Tadpole Lake, and Skeeter Lake.

Infrastructure in this area is primarily recreational and forest-service based, featuring the Taconite Snowmobile Trail and a web of forest roads including Skeeter Lake Hwy and Scenic Hwy. The Prairie River flows through the southern reaches of the map, and the eastern edge provides detailed shorelines for Lawrence Lake and Lower Lawrence Lake. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of the north woods, where small streams like Wabana Cr and Clearwater Cr link the vast wetlands and timberlands.
