2013 Map of Slate Lake East

About this map

Superior National Forest dominates this northern Minnesota landscape, where the Snake River and Little Isabella River wind through a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The geography is characterized by numerous small bodies of water with evocative names like Chipmunk Lake, Beetle Lake, and Two Deer Lake. Human activity centers on seasonal recreation and timber management, visible through the presence of Camp Buckskin and the McDougal Lakes Campground in the south. The area is traversed by a grid of forest routes, including the prominent east-west Tomahawk Rd and State Hwy 1, which provide access to the high ground of Jack Pine Mountain. These roads and the Stony River drainage define the transport and ecological patterns of this wilderness area in the early 21st century.
