2011 Map of Snowbank Lake

About this map

Snowbank Lake dominates this portion of the Superior National Forest, characterized by its numerous islands including Birch Island, Fire Island, and Center Island. The landscape is a dense network of water bodies, where the Kawishiwi River flows into Lake One and continues through a chain including Lake Three and Horseshoe Lake. Modern infrastructure in this protected wilderness area is limited to access points like Snowbank Lake Rd and Snowbank Lodge Rd, alongside structural features such as Lake Number One Dam and Lake Number Two Dam. The presence of the Fernberg Lookout Tower near the western edge of the quadrangle suggests the area's importance for forest management and fire observation during this era. Genealogists and historians can trace the intricate shoreline of named waters like Disappointment Lake and Parent Lake, which have served as landmarks for generations of visitors to northern Minnesota.
