About this map

The Chippewa National Forest dominates this northern Minnesota landscape, where the Big Fork River carves a winding path through dense timberlands and extensive wetlands. In the southern portion of the map, the river encounters the Hauck Rapids, a notable natural feature in a region defined by its complex drainage network. Tributaries such as Wade Brook, Bauman Cr, and Plum Creek thread through the forest, illustrating the intricate hydrology of the borderlands between Koochiching and Itasca counties.

Transportation is limited to a sparse grid of forest routes, including Co Hwy 14 and Jewell Rd, which provide access into the deep wilderness. The map reveals the strictly sectioned township and range system, showing the surveyed boundaries of t150n r25w and t61n r27w. This survey is particularly useful for understanding the modern boundary of the national forest and the preserved character of the Big Fork River corridor.
