About this map

Chippewa National Forest encompasses this aquatic landscape in Cass County, where a dense network of interconnected basins defines the local geography. The massive Woman Lake dominates the central portion of the sheet, featuring prominent features like Broadwater Bay, Bungey Bay, and Horseshoe Island. To the north, the Leech Lake Indian Reservation boundary cuts through the forest, adjacent to smaller bodies of water like Carnahan Lake and Hazel Lake.

The presence of the Goose Lake Trail System and numerous boat ramps suggests a mid-90s landscape geared toward recreation and conservation. Smaller lakes such as Baby Lake, McKeown Lake, and Black Water Lake fill the timbered lowlands, while several Gravel Pits indicate localized resource extraction. This 1996 update, based on earlier 1968 topography and 1991 imagery, provides a detailed look at the water-to-land ratio in the northern woods before further shoreline development.
