2013 Map of Little Winnibigoshish Lake

About this map

Lake Winnibigoshish and the headwaters of the Mississippi River dominate this portion of the Chippewa National Forest on the border of Itasca and Cass counties. The landscape is defined by its complex shoreline, featuring prominent landmarks like Sugarbush Point, Battle Point, and Inspiration Point along the expansive waters. This modern survey shows the intricate network of forest routes and local roads, such as Williams Narrows Rd and Bowens Rd, that provide access to the region's recreational hubs. Significant sites for local history and public use include the Fairbanks Cem, the Winnie Lookout Tower, and extensive visitor facilities at the Plug Hat Point Campground Recreation and Picnic Area. The map captures the meeting of major water bodies, including Little Winnibigoshish Lake and Cut Foot Sioux Lake, documenting the vital hydrologic and recreational character of this northern Minnesota timber and lake district.
