About this map

Woman Lake dominates this glaciated landscape in the heart of Chippewa National Forest. The 1970 field check by the Geological Survey reveals a dense network of water bodies, where larger basins like Baby Lake and Black Water Lake are connected by narrow channels and bayous. A dedicated Seaplane Base on the western shore of Woman Lake underscores the importance of aerial access to this lake-heavy region of Cass County.

The map highlights the intricate shoreline of Broadwater Bay and the presence of Horseshoe Island, illustrating the complex hydrology characteristic of the Woodrow boundary area. Smaller, interestingly named features such as IXL Lake, Pancake Lake, and Squaw Lake pepper the landscape, many situated between larger bodies like Ponto Lake and Mule Lake. Several Gravel Pits are noted near the lakeshores, indicating local resource extraction amid the recreational and timber lands of the national forest.
