1996 Map of Wabana Lake

About this map

The Chippewa National Forest dominates this section of Itasca County, defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and managed timberlands. The Joyce Estate Historic Site is located along the western shore of the central water body, representing a significant piece of early twentieth-century resort history within the northern woods. To the west, the Suomi Hills Recreation Area provides a specialized landscape of ridges and depressions, while the Forest Management Area north of the historic site indicates active silviculture. Transport and recreation are intertwined via the Trout Lake Hiking Trail, which skirts the eastern margins. The map details a water-logged geography from Spider Lake in the north to the large expanse of Deer Lake in the south, interspersed with smaller features like the Tree Farm and local industrial traces such as a Gravel Pit.
