About this map

Vermilion Lake dominates this portion of Saint Louis County, its complex shoreline defined by numerous islands and points including Isle of Pines, Whisky Island, and Everetts Point. The settlement of Tower serves as a focal point near the southern shore, situated where the West Two River and E Two River meet. This area reflects a multifaceted landscape where the wild reaches of the Superior National Forest interface with local infrastructure like the Tower Municipal Airport and the recreational grounds of The Wilderness Golf Course.

Genealogists and local historians can locate Peyla to the west and Tower Junction to the east, while the Lakeview Cem and the President McKinley Point of Interest offer specific sites of historical and civic importance. The map details a transition from the water-oriented north to the more terrestrial southern terrain, marked by family-named roads like Koski Rd and Tarkman Rd that suggest the region's homesteading history.
