2011 Map of Stingy Lake

About this map

The Prairie River and East River systems anchor this portion of the Iron Range landscape, where the geography is defined by an extensive network of glacial lakes and industrial water management. In the southeast, the Hibbing Taconite Starter Dam One and Hibbing Taconite Starter Dam Two signify the reach of the region’s dominant mining industry near Kleffman Lake. The terrain is characterized by numerous small water bodies including Stingy Lake, Lake Twentyfour, and Moran Lake. Access to these remote timber and mining lands is provided by a grid of county highways and forest routes such as Stingy Lake Trl and Bower Lake Forest Rd, reflecting the intersection of natural resource extraction and the wilderness of northern Minnesota.
