2022 Map of Tower

About this map

Vermilion Lake dominates the northern reaches of this Iron Range landscape, where the town of Tower serves as a gateway to the Superior National Forest. The complex shoreline is defined by numerous landforms including Birch Point, Hoodoo Point, and the large expanse of Pine Island. To the south, the settlement of Peyla and the Tower Junction area show the terrestrial footprint of the region, anchored by the Pike River and West Two River systems. Local history is evidenced at Lakeview Cem near the Tower Municipal Airport, while the grid of roads such as Main St and Bessin Hwy 42 connect the lakeside communities. The map highlights the transition from the protected forest wilderness to the structured layouts of these northern Minnesota townships.
