About this map

Schley sits at the northern edge of this Northwoods landscape, where the terrestrial environment is defined by a dense network of forest roads and water bodies. The terrain is dominated by the Sucker Lakes and the southern reach of Leech Lake, connected by the winding course of Sucker Creek. These waters are managed in part by the Sucker Bay Impoundment Dam, reflecting the region's long-standing water resource management.

High points in the topography are marked by features like the Cuba Hill Lookout Tower, accessible via Cuba Hill Rd. The map details a complex web of timber and access roads, such as Ketchum Rd NW and Sucker Bay Rd NW, which cut through the area's many smaller basins, including Foot Lake, Life Raft Lake, and Grass Lake. The arrangement of these roads and the positioning of the lookout tower underscore a landscape focused on forestry and conservation in Cass County.
