2013 Map of Little Ball Club Lake

About this map

Chippewa National Forest encompasses the wetlands and timberlands of this Itasca County landscape, where the First River meanders toward its confluence at Ball Club Lake. This 2013 survey reveals a sparsely populated terrain dominated by hydrologic features, including the Ball Club Impoundment and the secluded Little Ball Club Lake. The road network consists primarily of county routes and forest service roads like Forest Rd 2346, supporting logging or recreational access. State Hwy 46 cuts diagonally through the southern portion, serving as the primary corridor through the forest. Water drainage patterns are clearly defined by Fishermans Brook, which connects smaller basins like Egg Lake and Tuttle Lake within the protected forest boundaries. This map offers a detailed look at the modern management of these northern Minnesota headwaters and forest preserves.
