2022 Map of Little Winnibigoshish Lake

About this map

Chippewa National Forest surrounds the vast waters of Lake Winnibigoshish and its smaller counterpart, Little Winnibigoshish Lake, in this northern Minnesota landscape. The map shows a critical hydraulic and ecological nexus where the Mississippi River winds through deep bays and points. Notable terrain features like Sugarbush Point, Battle Point, and Inspiration Point define the jagged shoreline, while the Fairbanks Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing local families. The area is heavily managed for conservation and recreation, evidenced by the presence of the West Banks Number Two Impoundment and an extensive network of trails, including the Avenue Of Pines Snowmobile Tr-Trl. The boundary between Itasca and Cass Counties cuts directly through the lake, marking an administrative divide across these interconnected northern waters.
