2013 Map of Sawbill Landing

About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses this section of northeastern Minnesota, where a network of forest routes and river systems defines the landscape. The region is characterized by numerous small settlements and camps, notably Sawbill Landing, Martin Landing, and Wheeler Landing, which serve as focal points for navigating the dense woods. The hydrography is particularly complex, featuring a series of interconnected water bodies such as Dumbbell Lake, Helen Lake, and the winding Dumbbell River. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern management of these timberlands, showing how Forest Rte 173 and Arrowhead Rd provide access to remote areas like Long Lake Camp and Kelly Landing. The map captures a high density of named water features, from the Little Isabella River to uniquely named ponds like Finn Pond and Doghouse Lake, reflecting the local heritage and recreational geography of the Arrowhead region.
