2010 Map of Makinen

About this map

Makinen and its local Makinen Post Office anchor the northwestern corner of this Saint Louis County landscape, which is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and slow-moving waterways. The Paleface River meanders across the southern half of the quadrangle, collecting drainage from Bobcat Creek and passing near several smaller water bodies like Dollar Lake and Little Paleface Lake. To the north, the terrain is shaped by the Mud Hen Creek system, which flows through Mud Hen Lake and Little Mud Hen Lake. Local transit is facilitated by a grid of rural roads including Vermilion Trl and County Hwy-632, providing access to isolated landmarks like Section Fourteen Lake and the Wabuse Lake area. The presence of the Washusk Forest Management Rd in the southeast suggests the intersection of residential settlement with managed timberlands and natural conservation areas.
