2016 Map of Orr SW

About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses a large portion of this northern landscape, where the waters of Pelican Lake dominate the central geography. This 2016 survey documents the intricate shoreline and numerous islands that define the lake's character, including Baileys Island and the centrally located Big Island. The map shows a region shaped by glacial depressions now filled by water bodies like Rabbit Lake, Swan Lake, and Gabrielson Lake, connected by smaller watercourses such as Swan Cr and Portage Cr. Human activity is concentrated along the lakefront, evidenced by a network of local access roads including Krullman Pt Rd and Grande's Point Rd that lead toward prominent landforms like Eagle Point and Elliott Point. In the south, the terrain levels out slightly as Prairie Cr winds through the wetlands, illustrating the transition between the dense forest and the expansive lake system.
