2013 Map of Stingy Lake

About this map

Stingy Lake and the headwaters of the Prairie River define this Iron Range landscape along the border of Itasca and Saint Louis counties. The 2013 topography reveals a region deeply tied to its glacial and industrial heritage, dominated by numerous water bodies like Lake Twentyfour, Gansey Lake, and Day Lake. A significant portion of the northeastern corner is occupied by the Superior National Forest, while the southeastern quadrant reflects the area's mining footprint with the massive Hibbing Taconite Tailings Basin. This basin serves as a stark contrast to the surrounding natural drainage patterns of Day Brook and the East River. Smaller named lakes such as Kleffman Lake and Loven Lake are scattered throughout, connected by a network of forest roads like Stingy Lake Trl and Powers Rd that facilitate access through the dense woodland and wetland terrain.
