About this map

Gemmell and the small settlement of Pinetop anchor this survey of the Northern Minnesota wilderness in Koochiching County. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of wetlands and small waterways, including the Lost River in the northwest and Pancake Cr further south. For those tracing local heritage, the Oak Hill-Gemmell Cem is a primary landmark near the junction of Highway 71 and local roads. The map reveals a transition from the structured township grids of t152n r27w and t152n r26w to the winding forest routes like Gemmell Ridge Forest Rd. The presence of Clear Lake and Dark Lake underscores the typical glacial terrain of the region, while numerous unpaved forest roads such as Blueberry Rd and Hanson Forest Rd suggest a history of timber management and remote access in this sparsely populated area.
