About this map

Vermilion Lake dominates this landscape, its intricate shoreline defined by numerous islands and points like Birch Island and Everetts Point. The settlement of Tower serves as a focal point near the southern shore, situated where the East Two River and West Two River converge. This area reflects a legacy of northern Minnesota industry and transit, evidenced by the North American Mine and the unique Irons Point Seaplane Base.

Transport and recreation intersect at Hoodoo Point, where the Tower Municipal Airport sits adjacent to the Hoodoo Point Campground. Genealogists and local historians can locate Lakeview Cemetery north of the town center, while those interested in civic development can find the Tower Post Office and the Pike River Dam further west near Peyla. The map also preserves the location of the President McKinley Point of Interest, adding a specific historical landmark to this detailed survey of the Iron Range's lake country.
