About this map

The Saint Louis River snakes through this portion of Saint Louis County, defining a landscape dominated by glacial lakes and extensive wetlands. In the southeastern corner, the settlement of Palo serves as a local focal point near Rauha Cem, reflecting the area's rural character and Finnish heritage. The northern terrain is a complex mosaic of water and forest, featuring prominent bodies such as Esquagama Lake, Little Esquagama Lake, and Cedar Island Lake.

Transportation is anchored by the Rudy Perpich Memorial Dr and the Vermilion Trl, which connect these isolated shorelines. Numerous smaller lakes with distinctive names like Frying Pan Lake, Pot Lake, and Kahtava Lake are scattered across the quadrangle, interspersed with drainage systems like Mud Hen Cr. This survey illustrates a quiet, lake-country environment where residential pockets around Bass Lake and Silver Lake coexist with large tracts of undeveloped bog and timberland.
