About this map

West Swan River meanders through this landscape of the Iron Range region, where small settlements and a complex system of water management define the geography. The small community of Silica sits at a crossroads in the southeast, while Bengal and its namesake Bengal Hill anchor the central portion of the map. This area is characterized by numerous small lakes and managed reservoirs, including Reservoir Number Six and Reservoir Two, which are supported by features like the Reservoir Number Six Dam.

Transport is dominated by a grid of local routes such as Stuart Rd and County Hwy-559, which navigate around prominent terrain like Blueberry Hill. The abundance of water bodies, from Sand Lake to the aptly named Nameless Lake, suggests a landscape deeply shaped by drainage and storage, likely supporting the industrial or municipal needs of the surrounding St. Louis County area during the early 21st century.
