1996 Map of Little Bowstring Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Chippewa National Forest and Bowstring State Forest define this lakeland region in Itasca County, where a dense network of water bodies served as the foundation for both early settlement and late 20th-century recreation. The small community of Suomi stands near the northern edge, anchored by the Suomi Church, reflecting the area's heritage. To the east, the Suomi Hills Recreation Area contains a specialized trail system among the glacial topography of the Suomi Hills. Massive basins like Deer Lake and Moose Lake dominate the southern half of the map, while smaller interior waters such as Cottonwood Lake and Little Bowstring Lake provide numerous boat access points. The transition from timber management to recreational use is evident in the preservation of the landscape and the presence of historic landmarks like Clara Church in the southwest corner.
