About this map

Fish Lake Reservoir dominates the eastern half of this terrain, its irregular shoreline forming numerous bays and points just north of the Beaver River. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of wetlands and water bodies characteristic of Saint Louis County, including Caribou Lake, Long Lake, and Bergen Lake near the northern settlement of Taft. The southern portion of the sheet shows the development around the communities of Bartlett and Twig, where local history is anchored by the Grand Lake Cem.

Transport corridors like Munger Shaw Rd and Co Hwy 15 link these small settlements, while the Cloquet River winds through the northwestern corner. The placement of Twig Station near the junction of major roads suggests a historical rail-and-road node that once served as a primary access point for the surrounding forest and lake region. This 2016 survey records the modern road network, from Driftwood Estates Rd to Wilderness Ridge, integrated into a landscape still defined by its complex hydrology.
