Lookouts we can't place yet in Minnesota
15 lookouts in Minnesota are named by our sources, but none says where they stood, so they are not on the map. Know where one stood? Use its Suggest a location button: it opens a short form on GitHub with the lookout filled in.
1 more in Minnesota are on the map at approximate locations: no source gives their position either, but the USGS gazetteer has exactly one summit, ridge or similar high point of the same name in their county, so they are shown there with a dashed marker and an Unverified badge.
