About this map

Vermilion Lake dominates this northern landscape, its intricate shoreline defined by a labyrinth of inlets and named points within the Superior National Forest. The settlement of Tower is the primary hub, situated near Tower Junction and the Tower Municipal Airport. The map reveals a complex aquatic geography of named bodies like Pike Bay, Big Bay, and Daisy Bay, punctuated by numerous islands including Ely Island and Jackrabbit Island.

South of the main lake, the landscape transitions to the smaller Peyla community and the winding course of the Pike River. Local genealogists and historians can locate the Lakeview Cem near the town center and trace the network of rural routes such as Cemetary Rd and Resvn Hwy 42 that connect the shoreline points to the interior. The cartography provides a clear picture of the modern road network servicing the recreational and residential clusters along the water's edge.
