2022 Map of Alice Lake

About this map

The Superior National Forest defines this roadless interior of Lake County, where a vast network of interconnected waterways and glacial basins dominates the landscape. Alice Lake sits at the center of the sheet, serving as a significant catchment for the Kawishiwi River as it meanders through the wilderness. This intricate drainage system, including the Record Creek and numerous smaller basins like Amber Lake, Assawan Lake, and Blissful Lake, reflects a terrain fundamentally shaped by water and rock rather than human settlement. In the northern reaches, Thomas Lake and Cacabic Lake are separated by the Thomas-Cacabic portage route, illustrating the primary means of transit through this protected area. The Absence of roads and structural developments highlights the region's character as a preserved wilderness at the time of this 2022 survey.
