About this map

Pelican Lake dominates this northern Minnesota landscape, where the waters are punctuated by distinctive landmarks like Big Island and Baileys Island. The map shows a region defined by its transition from open water to the dense woods of the Superior National Forest, which covers the northeastern portion of the sheet. Numerous smaller water bodies, including Rabbit Lake and Gabrielson Lake, are connected by a network of drainage features such as Portage Cr and Swan Cr. Human activity is primarily limited to the shoreline, marked by named points like Eagle Point and Elliott Point, and a grid of rural roads. These routes, such as Co Rd 539 and Range Line Rd, provide access to the various bays and peninsulas that characterize this lake-heavy environment in St. Louis County.
