2019 Map of Soudan

About this map

Soudan serves as the focal point for this landscape in the northern reaches of Eagles Nest Township, where the Iron Range meets a vast network of water. The settlement sits just south of Stuntz Bay and is overlooked by the prominent Jasper Peak, a landmark that anchors the local topography. This area is defined by the intricate shoreline of Vermilion Lake, which is dotted with numerous landforms like Ely Island, Timber Island, and Birch Island. Moving inland, the terrain is shaped by a complex system of drainage including the Armstrong River and E Two River, which connect several smaller interior water bodies such as Fourmile Lake and Skeleton Lake. The road network, including the historic route of Old Hwy 169 and the specifically named Larue Mine Rd, suggests a landscape deeply tied to the regional history of mineral extraction and transit around the northern bays.
