Northwest Saint Louis

The landscape around Northwest Saint Louis is a mosaic of boreal forest, wetlands and lakes in northern Minnesota, which has shaped both scattered settlement and a forest-based local economy. The area lies in the Rainy River watershed, within the wider lake country associated with Voyageurs National Park. Kabetogama State Forest is an important public-land presence in this part of Saint Louis County, where roads and small communities meet managed woodland and water. This is also within the traditional homelands of Ojibwe people. Rather than a single urban centre, Northwest Saint Louis denotes a sparsely populated stretch of Minnesota’s North Woods.
