About this map

Arbutus sits at the center of this Saint Louis County landscape, where a network of forest roads and remote waterways defines the geography of northern Minnesota. The East Branch Rat Root River and the main Rat Root River meander through the terrain, joined by smaller drainages like Kinmount Creek. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Forest Service documents the rural infrastructure of the region, showing established routes such as Keyes Rd, Budris Rd, and Leslie Rd. Natural landmarks like Indian Hill provide relief in a landscape otherwise dominated by small water bodies including Pearl Lake and Little Lake. The map illustrates a quiet corner of the Northwoods where the intersection of water and timber-access roads continues to shape the local character.
