About this map

Wrenshall sits in the northeast corner of this Carlton County landscape, where the local road network converges near Saint John's Lutheran Cem and Silverbrook Cem. The terrain is defined by a high density of glacial lakes and complex drainage systems, featuring Chub Lake, Venoah Lake, and the larger Hay Lake to the west, while Lac La Belle rests near Scotts Corner. This area transitions from the lake-dotted uplands into a more dissected riverine environment to the south.

The Nemadji River and its tributary, the S Fork Nemadji River, wind through the southern sections of the quadrangle, joined by the Blackhoof River and Deer Cr. Small crossroads and settlements like Blackhoof and Pleasant Valley illustrate the rural development pattern of the region. The map reveals the intricate water network of the Lake Superior basin, including Rock Cr, Mud Cr, and Clear Cr, showing how these waterways shaped the placement of early townships and rural residences.
