2022 Map of Whyte

About this map

Superior National Forest defines the character of this Lake County landscape, where water and former transportation routes dictate the geography. The map traces the course of the Cloquet River and the Stony River, along with numerous tributaries like Cloudy Spring Cr and Lillian Cr. The legacy of the region's logging or industrial history is evident in the naming of the Stoney River Grade, Whyte Spur A, and the Spur End Creek, suggesting a terrain once heavily shaped by rail activity. Small settlements such as Whyte, Greenwood Junction, and Scott Junction serve as quiet landmarks within this dense woodland. Near the northern boundary, Peabody Hill provides a distinct topographic rise above a series of named basins, including Source Lake, Railroad Lake, and Phantom Lake. The presence of roads like Bassett Road and Toimi Road provides access into this remote northern Minnesota timberland.
