2013 Map of Spring Lake

About this map

Chippewa National Forest dominates this section of Itasca County, where a complex network of glacial lakes and managed impoundments defines the landscape. The geography is characterized by intricate water bodies such as Big Too Much Lake and Little Too Much Lake in the southeast, while the northern reaches include Lac-a-Roy Lake and David Lake. Human activity in the woods is centered around the settlement at Spring Lake and the Mount Tabor Camp near LaCroix Lake. This map details a series of water management features, including the Spur Lake, Crooked Lake Impoundment, and Goodman Lake Impoundment, reflecting the area's ongoing hydrological engineering within the national forest. Forest roads like Camp Five Rd and State Hwy 6 provide the primary access to these remote northern Minnesota timberlands and recreation sites.
