About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses this pocket of Saint Louis County, where a complex network of waterways and managed forest trails dominates the landscape. Central to the area is Black Duck Lake, which feeds the Black Duck River as it flows north toward the border. To the east, Elephant Lake and its surrounding access roads, including Melgeorge Resort Rd and In Elephant Lake Rd, suggest a long-standing pattern of seasonal recreation and timber management.

The presence of the David Dill-Arrowhead State Trl and various spurs like the Ninemile Spur Af Trl highlight the importance of recreational transit through this woodland. The southern portion of the map is defined by marshy lowlands surrounding Bog Lake and South Bog Lake, drained by the winding Pelican River. These features, along with names like Swan Lake Forest Management Rd, point to an environment shaped by both conservation and the industrial utility of the north woods.
