2016 Map of Wirt

About this map

Wirt stands at the northern edge of the Chippewa National Forest, a region defined by an intricate network of wetlands, rivers, and impoundments in northern Minnesota. The Big Fork River meanders across the upper reaches of the map, flowing near the Wirt Cem. To the south, the landscape is heavily influenced by water management and conservation, featuring numerous reservoirs and impoundments such as the Beaver Lodge Reservoir and the Fletcher Creek Impoundment Reservoir. These water bodies, along with large natural lakes like Whitefish Lake and Cedar Lake, illustrate the region's importance for timber and habitat preservation. The mapping of Sand Lake Cem near the southern boundary and various Forest Service routes like Forest Rd 2426 provides a clear view of how the area is navigated today, balancing the needs of local residents with the management of the national forest.
