Pelican Lake dominates this portion of Saint Louis County, its irregular shoreline defined by landmarks such as Elliott Point and several large landmasses including Big Island, Baileys Island, and Backus Island. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by water and recreation, where the Pelican River and Portage Creek feed into the lake system. Local infrastructure is represented by a network of rural roads such as Nett Lake Rd and County Hwy 539, which provide access to seasonal destinations like the Aspen Resort and Campground and Cabin O' Pines Resort and Campground. The northern reaches are quieter, marked by smaller bodies of water like Rabbit Lake and the winding course of Swan Creek, showing the transition from developed lakeside property to more isolated wetlands.
