2016 Map of Ludlow Lookout Tower

About this map

Ludlow Lookout Tower stands as the primary landmark in this expansive wetland region of northern Minnesota. Situated near the border of Lake of the Woods Co Beltrami Co, the landscape is defined by vast tracts of marsh and bog typical of the Big Bog State Recreation Area vicinity. The mapping reflects the remote nature of this part of the state, where the Public Land Survey System grid lines—including t156n r31w and t156n r30w—provide the only structured orientation across the saturated terrain. This map serves as an essential record of the hydrological patterns and sparse forest infrastructure in a region where lookout towers once played a vital role in fire detection for the surrounding timberlands and protected wilderness.
