2016 Map of Turpela Lake

About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses much of this landscape, where the Saint Louis River and Partridge River wind through the wetland-rich terrain of Saint Louis County. This 2016 survey illustrates a complex water system including the White Water Reservoir and Whitewater Lake to the north, along with smaller bodies like Turpela Lake, Hautala Lake, and Kumpula Lake. The map reveals a specialized transportation network dominated by forest roads and historic designations like Mooseline and Pequaywan. A singular named landmark, Koivisto, sits central to the quadrant, likely representing a local family name or established homestead within the forest boundary. The grid of forest service roads, such as Trigstad Rd and Palo Road 41, provides access to these remote northern woods, while features like Norway Point offer distinct navigational references for those navigating the river bends.
