2019 Map of Shaw

About this map

The small settlement of Shaw sits in the northern reaches of this Saint Louis County landscape, a region defined by its expansive wetlands and winding water systems. The Us-Kab-Wan-Ka River meanders south through the center of the quadrangle, eventually meeting the northern edge of the Island Lake Reservoir. This map reflects the modern rural infrastructure of the area, where historical property lines and township divisions are traversed by local routes such as Munger Shaw Rd and Co Hwy 15. To the southeast, the terrain shifts toward more concentrated water bodies, including Morgan Lake and Cooks Lake, surrounded by a network of smaller residential roads like Skogvei Rd and Cook Lake Dr. The drainage patterns of Bug Creek in the northwest further illustrate the low-lying, water-dominant nature of this northern Minnesota territory.
