About this map

White Elk Lookout Tower stands as a primary landmark in this northern Minnesota landscape, situated just west of Osprey Ave near the intersection of 540th Ln and 540th St. The area is characterized by a high concentration of wetlands and lakes, with White Elk Lake at the center, flanked by Mud Lake and Kingsleys Pothole. The hydrology of the region is defined by White Elk Creek and the Moose River, which meanders through the northeast corner.

Transportation and recreation are shaped by the Hill River State Frst and several managed corridors, including the Soo Line Trl cutting through the upper portion of the quadrangle. The map also delineates the Grant-In-Aid Trl Hill River State Frst, indicating the area's integration into the state's recreational and forestry management systems. Family-named landmarks like Buss Lake and Packer Lake dot the terrain, offering specific points of interest for local history and genealogy.
