2022 Map of Twig

About this map

Twig and Twig Station anchor the southwestern corner of this Saint Louis County landscape, illustrating a classic Minnesota forest-and-water settlement pattern. The terrain is defined by the expansive Fish Lake Reservoir and the winding course of the Cloquet River, which flows through northern reaches near Taft. A sense of local history is preserved in the presence of the Grand Lake Cem and the traces of an Old Railroad Grade cutting across the northwestern quadrant. These markings, alongside rural clusters like Bartlett, reflect the evolution of timber and transport in the region. The map highlights the transition from managed waterways like Fish Lake Reservoir to natural features such as Caribou Lake and the elevated terrain of Wilderness Ridge. Numerous rural roads, including Munger Shaw Rd and Co Hwy 48, connect these isolated water bodies and small community centers.
