About this map

Soudan and its proximity to the Iron Range's industrial legacy define this landscape on the southern shores of Vermilion Lake. The settlement sits just north of Jasper Peak, while the Soudan Mine Overlook Rest Area serves as a prominent landmark reflecting the region's deep mining heritage. The map details a complex network of glacial lakes and islands, including Hendrickson Island and Raspberry Island, which populate the expansive waters of Vermilion Lake to the north.

A transition from water to interior forest is marked by the small community of Murray and several smaller water bodies such as Sixmile Lake, Fourmile Lake, and Skeleton Lake. The hydrology is defined by the winding courses of the Armstrong River and the branches of the E Two River and W Two River. This terrain, dotted with family-named landmarks like Nyberg Island and J B Island, remains largely defined by its natural topography and the transportation corridor established by MN-169.
