About this map

Chippewa National Forest encompasses this water-rich landscape in Itasca County, defined by a complex network of glacial lakes and managed timberlands. The centerpiece of the area is Wabana Lake, featuring distinctive landmarks such as Arrowhead Point and Simmons Bay. The map reveals a highly developed system of recreational and forest management routes, including the Suomi Hills Trail S Trl and various portage paths like the Moonshine/Bee Cee Portage Trl.

Hydrological features dominate the terrain, from the Wabana Impoundment and Buckman Cove to smaller secluded bodies like Bee Cee Lake and Upper Spring Lake. This 2022 survey captures the modern state of these northern woods, where the legacy of early portage routes and logging roads has transitioned into a sophisticated trail system for forest access and conservation within the t58n r25w and t57n r25w townships.
