About this map

Whiteface Reservoir dominates the landscape of Saint Louis County in this northern Minnesota survey, serving as a central hydrological feature within the Superior National Forest. The settlement of Markham sits to the west of the reservoir, positioned near the shores of Markham Lake and along the historic route of the Vermilion Trl. The map illustrates a complex network of wetlands and small watercourses, including the Paleface River and Water Hen Cr, which feed into the larger river systems.

Residential and recreational developments are evident in the naming of local access points like Lakeshore Dr, W Cabin Cir, and Eagles Nest Dr N, reflecting the area's transition into a seasonal and lakeside community. Significant smaller bodies of water such as Linwood Lake, Wiggle Lake, and Hush Lake are nestled in the timbered terrain, highlighting the dense concentration of glacial lakes characteristic of this region.
