2019 Map of Twig

About this map

Twig and its namesake Twig Station anchor the southwestern corner of this survey, illustrating the local importance of transportation corridors in Saint Louis County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the expansive Fish Lake Reservoir and the winding Cloquet River, which drain through the timbered wetlands. Small settlements like Bartlett and Taft are connected by a mix of modern county highways and local routes such as Munger Shaw Rd. For those researching local roots, the Grand Lake Cem provides a specific point of interest. A notable legacy of past industry is the Old Railroad Grade in the west, which serves as a terrestrial record of the region's logging or transit history. Numerous smaller lakes, such as Caribou Lake and Side Lake, dot the quadrangle, reflecting the classic post-glacial geography of Northern Minnesota.
