About this map

George Washington State Forest and the Sturgeon River State Forest converge in this northern landscape, creating a dense mosaic of woodland and wetlands. The topography is defined by dozens of small kettle lakes and glacial depressions, including the central Lake Twentyfour and the smaller Stuart Lake. A complex hydrography is evident as Day Brook and Deer Brook snake through the terrain, connecting water bodies like Clearwater Lake and Waymier Lake.

Evidence of local industry and the expansion of nearby settlements appears along the eastern and southern edges of the map. The Hibbing Corporate Boundary reaches into the southeast corner, near where a Gravel Pit and other extraction sites are noted. This 1964 survey, with its 1984 photorevisions, documents the border between Itasca and St. Louis Counties, capturing a transition zone between protected wilderness areas like the Superior National Forest and the encroaching industrial reach of the Iron Range.
