About this map

Chippewa National Forest surrounds the intricate shorelines and peninsulas of Leech Lake in this northern Minnesota landscape. The settlement of Federal Dam occupies the northeast corner, near where the water transitions into the surrounding wetlands of Sugar Point Bog. The map details a geography defined by its points and islands, with Sugar Point and Battle Point extending into the water, while Bear Island sits isolated to the south between Boy Bay and Headquarters Bay.

Genealogists and local historians will find the White Cloud Cem located on the central peninsula, a significant landmark in a region otherwise dominated by forest and water. The road network, including Co Hwy 73 NW and numerous local drives like Little Stoney Point Dr NE, illustrates the modern access routes to these remote lakeside reaches. The balance of aquatic environments, from the open expanse of Leech Lake to the smaller Bobo Link Lake, highlights the specialized terrain of the Leech Lake Reservation.
