About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses much of this Iron Range landscape, where the southern reaches of Vermilion Lake meet a complex network of smaller waterways and glacial basins. The terrain is defined by the transition from open water at Thirtysix Island and Birch Point to the marshy lowlands of the Pike River Flowage. Navigation through the woods is facilitated by local routes such as State Hwy 1 and Gold Mine Cir, hinting at the region's mineral history.

Remote recreational sites like Pfeiffer Lake Campground and Pfeiffer Lake provide access to the interior, while Lost Lake and Little Lost Lake sit as isolated features within the forest's protected boundaries. The map documents the drainage patterns of Lehtinen Cr and the Little Fork River, which serve as vital arteries in this northern Minnesota wilderness, reflecting a landscape shaped by both natural hydrology and forest management.
