2019 Map of Pennington

About this map

Chippewa National Forest dominates this landscape in northern Minnesota, where the Mississippi River winds through a dense network of lakes and wetlands. The settlement of Pennington is situated near the northern edge of the map, adjacent to the southern shores of Kitchi Lake and connected by Scenic Hwy NE. Further south, the Bald Eagle Center is established near Lydick Lake, surrounded by a complex system of forest routes and logging roads like 2948 Logging Rd. The terrain is characterized by its significant hydrography, including the expansive Cass Lake, Schram Lake, and several smaller bodies such as Minnow Lake and Burns Lake. A network of Forest Service roads, including Forest Rte 2172 and Forest Rte 2351, facilitates movement through the timberlands, reflecting the region's historical and ongoing reliance on forestry and recreational water access.
