About this map

Voyageurs Nat Park and the Kabetogama State Forest dominate this portion of St. Louis County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of interconnected glacial lakes and narrow waterways. The transition between the Superior National Forest and state lands is marked by the central waters of Moose Lake and the elongated reaches of Long Lake. This 1967 survey, with 1980s revisions, illustrates a wilderness environment primarily accessed by water and the occasional path like the Jeer Trail.

The hydrography of the region is complex, featuring the flow of the Moose River and the Johnson River alongside smaller water bodies like Amundsen Lake, Little Johnson Lake, and Pot Hole Lake. Evidence of localized material extraction appears near Dixon Creek at various Gravel Pits. This map captures the northern Minnesota backcountry before modern developments, preserving the original configurations of Marion Lake and the surrounding timberlands.
