1996 Map of Wildwood SE

About this map

The Big Fork River carves a winding path through this northern Minnesota wilderness, marking a significant hydrological feature just south of the Koochiching Co Itasca Co line. This landscape is defined by its massive public land holdings, where the Chippewa National Forest meets the Big Fork State Forest and the Pine Island State Forest. The map documents a terrain of extensive wetlands and bogs, navigated by a network of seasonal routes including the Winter Trail. Notable river landmarks like Hauck Rapids and smaller tributaries such as Plum Creek and Brook highlight the intricate drainage patterns of the region. This 1996 revision, compiled from imagery and field checks by the U.S. Forest Service, provides a clear record of the intersection between these managed forest boundaries and the natural flow of the Big Fork.
