About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses much of this landscape in northern Minnesota, where the vast expanse of Pelican Lake dominates the central terrain. The shoreline is highly articulated, featuring prominent landmarks like Eagle Point, Elliott Point, and sheltered waters at Susan Bay and Saunders Bay. Several islands, including Big Island and Baileys Island, are scattered across the lake, indicating a complex aquatic environment typical of the Saint Louis County lake country.

Away from the main lake, smaller water bodies such as Rabbit Lake and Gabrielson Lake are connected by a network of drainage features like Portage Cr, Swan Cr, and Prairie Cr. The presence of roads like Deer Lodge Rd, Krullman Pt Rd, and Granges Point Rd reveals the specific corridors of access to the waterfront, while the section lines and township markers delineate the survey structure of the region.
