2016 Map of Martin Lake

About this map

The northern reaches of Carlton County and southern St. Louis County meet in this 2016 survey of the Minnesota backcountry. The landscape is defined by its hydrology and thick timber, where the Saint Louis River flows along the northern edge of the map. Central to the area is Martin Lake, feeding into the winding Martin Br. The map reveals a network of local forest roads such as Maki Rd and Arrowhead Forrest Rd that carve through the wetlands. A significant historical anchor for the local community is the Arrowhead Cem located near the northern boundary. Further south, the terrain becomes increasingly marshy, punctuated by bodies of water like Lost Lake, Side Lake, and Hardwood Lake, showing the glacial character of the region.
