About this map

The Chippewa National Forest dominates this northern Minnesota landscape, where the Mississippi River meanders through a complex network of wetlands and glacial lakes. This survey documents the critical hydrological intersection where the river feeds into the massive Lake Winnibigoshish near the border of Itasca and Cass counties. The presence of the Sugar Lake Impoundment and various forest management routes like Forest Rd 2171 and 2948 Logging Rd illustrate the area's dual role as a timber resource and a protected wildlife habitat.

Water defines every quadrant of the map, from the secluded Kenogama Lake and Rabbits Lake in the north to the larger reaches of Sugar Lake and Ten Lake. Specialized terrain features such as Sugar Island and Ravens Point provide identifiable landmarks for those studying the shifting shorelines of this wilderness region. The detailed mapping of small watercourses like Raven Cr and smaller bodies like Lake Harry underscores the intricate aquatic geography of the Leech Lake Indian Reservation area.
