2016 Map of Little Winnibigoshish Lake

About this map

The Chippewa National Forest dominates this northern Minnesota landscape, where the waters of the Mississippi River flow between Lake Winnibigoshish and Little Winnibigoshish Lake. This 2016 survey illustrates the intricate shoreline of the Cut Foot Sioux Lake system, including McAvity Bay and the prominent Sugarbush Point. The map reveals a region defined by its hydrology and recreation, featuring numerous smaller bodies of water like Schoolhouse Lake and Tamarack Lake. Land use is primarily focused on timber management and seasonal access, marked by a network of forest routes and the Avenue of Pines Snowmobile Tr. Local history is anchored at the Fairbanks Cem near the eastern forest edge. The intricate network of trails, such as the Winnie Snowmobile Trail, highlights the area's role as a destination for winter transit and outdoor exploration within the national forest boundaries.
