About this map

Pennington and its surrounding lake country are defined by the winding course of the Mississippi River as it flows through this northern Minnesota landscape. In 2011, the settlement of Pennington remained centered near the Pennington Post Office, serving a region rich in seasonal camps and forest resources. The map highlights a significant transition in the river's flow at the Knutson Dam, which separates Cass Lake from downstream waters.

Around the dam, established seasonal communities like Knutson Dam Summer Homes and the Knutson Dam Recreation Area indicate the importance of the local waterways for recreation. Further south, the Bald Eagle Center and remote locations such as Cassaway Camp and Nushka Group Camp and Picnic Ground dot the timberland, connected by a network of forest routes including Cass River Rd SE and Forest Rte 2172.
