About this map

George Washington State Forest and the Sturgeon River State Forest dominate this mid-century landscape on the boundary of Itasca and St. Louis counties. The area is defined by a dense mosaic of glacial water bodies, ranging from the large Stingy Lake and Day Lake to the uniquely named Lake Twentytwo. In the northeast corner, the map captures a portion of the Superior National Forest.

Resource extraction and the transition from forest to local industry are visible through features like the Gravel Pit near Kleffman Lake. The terrain is shaped by watercourses such as the East River and numerous unnamed streams that connect isolated basins like Moose Lake and Stuart Lake. This survey provides an exact record of public land boundaries and forest designations during a period of managed wilderness and growing recreational use in Northern Minnesota.
