2016 Map of Whiteface Reservoir

About this map

Whiteface Reservoir dominates this landscape in Saint Louis County, serving as a central hydrological feature within the Superior National Forest. The settlement of Markham sits west of the reservoir, connected by a network of local routes such as Vermillion Trl and Aurora Rd. The area is defined by its complex waterway system, including Whiteface Lake, Markham Lake, and the winding Whiteface River. This 2016 survey illustrates the 21st-century configuration of these glacial lakes and the managed timberlands of northern Minnesota. Distinctive local names like S Br Water Hen Cr and Tunjalock Cr highlight the intricate drainage patterns of the region. The map also records numerous forest roads and residential circles like W Cabin Cir and E Cabin Cir that have developed along the shoreline of the reservoir, reflecting the modern recreational and residential footprint in this wooded environment.
