About this map

The Chippewa National Forest dominates this northern Minnesota landscape, where the boundary between Koochiching and Itasca counties cuts through dense woodlands and wetlands. This 2016 survey highlights the hydrology of the Big Fork Valley, centered on the small settlement of Pomroy. The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by a cluster of interconnected water bodies, including Noma Lake, Clear Lake, and Bay Lake, which feed into the northern-flowing drainage systems.

The Big Fork River meanders across the southeastern corner, featuring Robbs Rapids, a notable point of elevation change in the river's course. Numerous tributaries such as Harrison Cr, Hay Cr, and Fletcher Cr create a complex network through the forest, intersected by local routes like Co Rd 65 and Co Hwy 31. The mapping detail captures the remote character of this timber and water-rich region, essential for understanding the modern conservation and recreation footprint of the area.
