2022 Map of Wilbur Lake

About this map

Thunder Meadow and the surrounding Pine County wetlands dominate this portion of the Minnesota landscape, where a dense network of water bodies and seasonal drainage systems defines the terrain. The hydrography is characterized by the W Fork Crooked Cr and E Fork Crooked Cr, which feed into numerous named basins including Buck Lake and the Chain Lakes. This modern survey illustrates a remote region largely dedicated to recreation and conservation, evidenced by the Snowmobile Trl and the inclusion of St Croix Park Rd (Co Rd 22) at the southern edge. Pockets of naming, such as McGowan Lake and Kenney Lake, hint at localized landmarks or family histories within the sprawling wet-meadow ecosystem that feeds the Lower Tamarack River.
