2016 Map of Myrtle Lake

About this map

Superior National Forest defines the character of this northern landscape, where the Pelican River and Elbow River wind through a dense network of water bodies and marshlands. Modern recreational routes like the Arrowhead Snowmobile Trail navigate the terrain, connecting significant waters such as Myrtle Lake and Ban Lake. The survey highlights a region shaped by its hydrology, where local transit is facilitated by routes like Orr Buyck Rd and Co Rd 23, providing access to the more isolated areas near Little Elbow Lake and the distinctive elevation of Wolf Knoll. This area remains largely defined by its conservation status and the natural flow of its river systems, offering a detailed look at the interface between managed forest lands and the glacial lake systems of Saint Louis County.
