About this map

Superior National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this northern Minnesota region, where the terrain is defined by a complex network of waterways and timber roads. The winding Little Fork River cuts through the northern section, while the southern boundary includes Big Rosendal Lake and its smaller neighbor, Rosendal Lake. This 2013 survey illustrates how transportation follows the natural topography, with State Hwy 1 serving as the primary east-west artery through the forest lands.

Local history is reflected in the numerous named roads that provide access to the interior, such as Nylund Rd, Bystrom Rd, and S Wakely Rd. These routes, along with the Rice River and Sassas Creek, reveal a landscape managed for both timber and recreation. The proximity of the Little Fork River to residential roads like N Vermilion Dr indicates the importance of the river systems to the local rural development patterns.
