2022 Map of Upstead Lake

About this map

Hull sits at the heart of this Saint Louis County landscape, a central point within a vast network of wetlands and small water bodies. The terrain is characterized by the expansive Toivola Swamp and the distinct formation known as Devils Islands south of Exnell Lake. A significant industrial and recreational artery, the Alborn-Pengilly Railroad Trail, cuts diagonally across the quadrangle, tracing the path of former rail infrastructure through the northern Minnesota wilderness. This 2022 survey illustrates the modern conversion of historical transport corridors into contemporary trails, while the preservation of names like Upstead Lake and Sand Cr maintains a connection to the area's hydrographic history. The map provides a precise look at the township and range divisions across this sparsely settled portion of the Iron Range region.
