1996 Map of Raven Lake

About this map

Lake Winnibigoshish dominates the eastern landscape of this northern Minnesota survey, marking the convergence of the Mississippi River within a complex network of wetlands and smaller basins. The area, spanning the border of Itasca and Cass Counties, is managed as part of the Chippewa National Forest and Bowstring State Forest. The map details a specialized recreation and conservation landscape, identifying clusters of National Forest Permitted Recreational Residences and managed access points like the Reeses Landing Boat Access. Significant water management features include the Sugar Lake Impoundment, while higher ground is noted at the Birch Hill Lookout. This data reflects the mid-1990s balance of forest management, public recreation, and the vast hydrology of the Leech Lake Indian Reservation area, including smaller bodies such as Raven Lake, Rabbits Lake, and Kenogama Lake.
