2022 Map of Turpela Lake

About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses much of this northeastern Minnesota landscape, where the Saint Louis River and Partridge River wind through thick woodland and marsh. The area around Hoyt Lakes and the high ground at Norway Point reflect the region's industrial and logging heritage, marked by an extensive network of specialized tracks and trails. These include the Mooseline Spur 791, Mooseline Spur 130ka Trl, and Kolvisto Spur A Trl, which speak to the historic movement of timber and ore through the Saint Louis County backcountry. Several remote water bodies, such as Whitewater Lake, South Twin Lake, and Kumpula Lake, define the local drainage patterns and provide reference points for land navigation in this densely forested terrain.
