2013 Map of Ludlow Lookout Tower

About this map

The Ludlow Lookout Tower stands as the central landmark in this northern Minnesota landscape, situated just east of the critical north-south corridor of Mn-72. The area is defined by its low-lying terrain and sparse development, characterized by subtle contour intervals that reveal the delicate drainage patterns of the region. Crossing the northern portion of the sheet, the Lake of the Woods and Beltrami County line marks a significant administrative boundary in this relatively uninhabited stretch of wilderness. The placement of the lookout tower implies the importance of forest fire surveillance in this heavily timbered part of the state during the early 21st century.
