2019 Map of Whyte

About this map

Superior National Forest encompasses this section of Lake County, where a legacy of timber and transport is etched into the landscape. The settlement of Whyte and strategic points like Greenwood Junction and Scott Junction anchor a network of forest roads and former grades, including the Stoney River Grade and the Whyte Spur A. These routes trace the historical movement of resources through a region defined by its complex hydrology and glacial topography. Significant water bodies such as Source Lake, Railroad Lake, and Phantom Lake dot the map, while the Cloquet River and Stony River drain the surrounding wetlands. To the west, Peabody Hill provides a rare point of elevation overlooking the numerous creeks, including Cloudy Spring Cr, White Cr, and Murphy Cr, that lattice the forest floor. The map serves as a primary reference for the industrial and natural geography of northeastern Minnesota.
