About this map

The Superior National Forest dominates this section of northeast Saint Louis County, characterized by a complex network of wetland and riparian systems. The Little Fork River winds across the northern landscape, while the central portion is defined by the expansive Lost Lake Swamp. These wetlands are drained by numerous smaller waterways, including Sassas Cr and the Rice River, which thread through the timbered sections of the forest.

Evidence of recreational use and forest management is seen in the naming of the Arrowhead Snowmobile Trail and a series of forest roads such as Wolf Track and Bystrom Rd. To the south, Big Rosendal Lake and Rosendal Lake provide clear focal points amidst the low-lying terrain. The presence of Wolf S Switch and the Taconite trail suggest the area's ongoing connection to regional transportation and industry, even in this largely undeveloped wilderness area.
