2019 Map of Martin Lake

About this map

The county line between St. Louis Co Carlton Co bisects this landscape of glacial wetlands and interconnected waterways in Northern Minnesota. Central to the area is Martin Lake, which feeds into Martin Br and eventually connects to the drainage of Stoney Brook. The map reveals a network of rural routes named for local families and settlers, including Maki Rd, Brandon Rd, and Christiansen Rd, suggesting a history of land allotment and homesteading in the townships of t50n r19w and t51n r19w. To the north, Arrowhead Cem serves as a significant genealogical landmark for researchers of the region's rural communities. Large tracts of marsh and bog surround southern water bodies like Lost Lake, Side Lake, and Hardwood Lake, illustrating the difficult terrain that dictated the placement of early logging roads and modern improvements such as Arrowhead Forrest Rd.
