2016 Map of Nett Lake NE

About this map

The northern reaches of Nett Lake and its surrounding wetlands define this landscape along the border of Koochiching and St. Louis counties. The map illustrates a remote wilderness character largely managed as part of the Superior National Forest (marked here also as Snf), where drainage patterns dictate the terrain. Waterways like the Rat Root River, Lost River, and Portage Cr wind through low-lying marshlands and forested tracks, revealing the intricate hydrography of the Border Lakes region. Human infrastructure is sparse, limited to a few arterial routes such as Ash Lake Rd and Resyn Hwy 5 that provide access to the dense timberland and tribal lands. This survey is particularly useful for understanding the modern boundary between the national forest and the neighboring reservation lands at the time of the 2016 data collection.
