About this map

The Sturgeon Wild and Scenic River carves a winding path through this portion of the Hiawatha National Forest in Delta County. This map documents a landscape defined by its glacial hydrology, where numerous small, isolated basins have formed distinctive water bodies like Waco Lake, Gleason Lake, and Kenobo Lake. The terrain is interwoven with a network of seasonal transit routes, most notably the Nahma Grade Sno-Mo (Snow), which follows the historic corridor of a former logging grade.

Water-based navigation remains central to the area's character, exemplified by the Sturgeon River Canoe Route (Water). Smaller tributaries such as Eighteenmile Cr and Mink Cr drain the surrounding wetlands, while named features like Billy Good Lake and Narbon Lake provide specific geographic markers for local historians and land managers. The township lines for T43N and T42N intersect here, anchoring these natural features within the Public Land Survey System.
