About this map

Tofte occupies a narrow shelf of land between the high ridges of the Sawtooth Mountains and the vast expanse of Lake Superior. This 2011 survey illustrates how human activity follows the contours of the North Shore, with State Hwy 61 serving as the primary corridor connecting the shoreline community. Local infrastructure includes the Tofte Post Office and the Tofte Cemetery, while aviation needs are met by the Grevais Landing Field and Tofte Airport just inland from the coast.

The landscape is defined by its dramatic hydrology and topography, featuring prominent elevations like Carlton Peak and Leveaux Mountain. Numerous watercourses, including the Temperance River, Onion River, and Carlton Creek, descend from the interior highlands toward the lake, with Hidden Falls marking a significant point of descent. Interior access is provided by historic logging and forest routes such as Sawbill Trl and Forest Rd 1201.
