2019 Map of Stingy Lake

About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses the northeastern portion of this landscape, where the border between Itasca and St. Louis counties bisects a terrain defined by glacial lakes and wetlands. Near the southern edge of the quadrangle, the city of Hibbing is represented by a developed street grid that contrasts with the surrounding network of forest roads and trails. This area serves as a significant drainage basin, where the Prairie River flows south from Stingy Lake and the winding Day Brook feeds into the larger Day Lake. The map details a transition from dense woodland to industrial or residential development, capturing the interface between the wilderness of the Superior National Forest and the regional hub of the Iron Range. Recreational and access routes like the Mickelson Trl and Stingy Lake Forest Rd provide a clear view of how this timber and mining country is navigated today.
