2016 Map of Stewart Lake

About this map

The Minnesota lake country of the Northwoods is meticulously detailed in this survey of the borderlands between Cass and Crow Wing counties. This glacial landscape is defined by its high density of kettle lakes and wetlands, where large basins like Stewart Lake and Island Lake are surrounded by smaller, uniquely named bodies of water such as Dirty House Lake, Boiler Lake, and Lily Lake. The transportation network is a mixture of established county routes like Cass Co Rd 56 and localized trails such as Old Grade Trl NE and Wolf Lake Trl, which navigate the complex terrain. The drainage of the area is further evidenced by Thompson Cr in the south, while the northern sections are dominated by the expanse of Peterson Lake and Blind Lake. The grid of the Public Land Survey System provides a rigid framework over this fluid landscape of marshes and timberland.
