2022 Map of Little Marais

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the southeastern quadrant of this coastal survey, where the North Shore terrain rises sharply toward the Sawtooth Mountains. The settlement of Little Marais sits at the southwestern edge of the sheet, serving as a landmark for the transition from the lakefront to the higher elevations inland. The map details a landscape defined by its waterways, including the Caribou River with its namesake Caribou Falls, and the Manitou River which flows from the vicinity of Benson Lake. Transportation across this varied topography is documented via Cramer Rd and Co Rd 6, which navigate the rises and falls of the coastal ridges. The border between Cook and Lake Counties is clearly demarcated, showing the jurisdictional divide along this stretch of the Minnesota shoreline just north of Pork Bay.
